kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 2:48 pm Poll Question This is my very first (New) France coin from this time period so I'm not very familiar with the fonts etc. I think ICCS gave this the wrong date and would like a second opinion. What do you think? This link shows a picture of a 1613 so you can see how both the 1 and the 3 digit look. It also includes a 1616R in the known list. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16439.html This link shows a picture of a 1639 and doesn't show a 1636R in the known list. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3321.html Poll Choices Yes, you are correct that this is 1616 No, ICCS is correct that this is a 1636 Wish I could help you!

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 10:15 pm Could just be a typo. They're human and occasionally make mistakes. I own hundreds of coins certified by them and this is only the second I've found where the date is incorrect. Thanks everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10476 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 10:29 pm I suspect it is a typo... I have seen a lot of ICCS typos. t_y has a couple of twoonies in ICCS flips, one certificate dated 1936 and another certificate dated 1906...

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 10:43 pm BTW, I think it is pretty funny to see the ICCS VF20 against the CCCS F15. Methinks they have a different grading standard! Report this Post to the Staff
kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 11:21 pm True that. But I must say I find it a bit of a toss up when I get an ICCS & a CCCS or an ICCS & a PCGS of the same coin at the same grade as to which one actually looks better in hand. Sometimes it's one company and sometimes it's the other. Just the nature of the beast. Report this Post to the Staff
