Between the two TPG coin graders in Canada I believe only one of them specifies error or variety on the holder. Is this correct? If so which grader would that be?

Secondly how are varieties determined? Is there a body or a group that has to approve if some condition constitutes a variety or an error? or does the TPG look at the request from someone seeking the grading and determines if the condition constitutes an error or a variety?

Thank you

Hi Paisa,

1- " Is this correct ? " I beleive that the two coin graders in Canada specify error and variety on the holder but I think that CCCS, for the same price than a regular coin to the owner, is in advance of ICCS.

2- For your satisfaction, it is important that the owner of a coin specify to the grader the type of error or variety that he see on his coin.

I know with my experience with CCCS, that when this grader agree with an identification, this is inscribed on the holder.

I think that demand will have the largest influence on what coins get an official variety status. Publishing entities also have a big influence as well. If Charlton goes ahead and lists a different variety then a lot of collectors will adopt it right away. Coin news is another one. Collectors use these book listings and trend listings as a "to get" list.
