It's kind of special that we get to see a pattern here on these rare occasions. Nothing beats a pattern...... ....as to prices for patterns or specimens ...You guys and gals would be much better than I at guessing ~what today's prices would be. Maybe SPP(or others..'mods maybe') could share some more of his/there knowledge at to recent Canadian prices. Lets put it this way,..if these were US rarities,...we could retire on them...but they're not...  If I want to quote someone here,...Is there some 'hidden magic button/icon', because I can't get a quote in here "for love or money"...?  Any help or comments always appreciated...  |

Use the Reply to Topic link. In the Formatting row of buttons, it's the second last one. It will insert the html text "quote][/quote". Just copy and paste the quote in between. quote]insert quote here[/quote Note, I removed the beginning [ and trailing ] so it would remain as text.

There is an example of the 25-cent pattern in the RCNA auction this summer. ICCS MS-64 heavy cameo (although it is a specimen strike) http://auctions.tcnccoins.com/1967-...-s_i16743460When I bought my pattern, I had both pattern pieces in my hands and I got to chose. I picked the one without the cameo, because it had far superior surfaces. PCGS would probably grade that RCNA auction piece SP-63 (or lower), there is a ton of marks on the cameo surfaces, especially on the reverse (as cameos are prone to get). I should mention at the time, both pattern pieces were in older ICCS MS-65 holders - at least ICCS recognized that when TCNC re-submitted their pattern for the cameo designation, that they recognized their earlier mistake in the mis-grade, but they still don't acknowledge it as a specimen strike. I put my piece in a PCGS holder, and according to Proof Positive Coins, it is one of the nicer ones that exist. Prior to this summer's auction, the last time a pattern piece like this sold was in 2007: http://www.icollector.com/1967-Nick...-63_i7004221If this was an American pattern, it would be worth considerably more. I will be watching the summer auction for fun, to see what the hammer is. I suspect around $4K. Of course, if you want a better piece, here is one for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canada-Patt...300906842106"Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.
