Hi all,
Don't know if this has been asked before or even if this is the correct forum to ask but my question is this;
Is there anywhere on the web that I can find certification number information for ICCS graded coins?
Any info will be greatly appreciated. :)

Nope, not that I know of. ICCS doesn't even have a website. And welcome. BTW your thread should be in the TPG forum. Feel free to call me Will.

Of course not!
All our Canadian coin collecting institutions are second-rate and amateurish, they only want your money.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

DBM...that's in very poor taste.

Regarding ICCS cert info:
Maybe post your question here.
Or, if you need to know what year (and maybe the month) a coin was graded, you can always call ICCS and they would be happy to tell you.

You can buy the annual ICCS Population Report if you're looking for that type of aggregate info. See previous threads for the debate about how accurate those numbers are though.

I think CCCS has shown such consistent grading compared with ICCS that people should begin to implicitly trust their holders. Certainly a cross-grading by ICCS seems a waste of money to me. Save it for the US graders that never seem to get it right.
If a move to CCCS occurs, then ICCS will either have to chnage with the times or die away.

@ dialog_gvf After comparing ICCS and CCCS it appears that unless you live in Toronto the latter is a much easier option and the website also has a handy verification checker. I wonder why ICCS hasn't bothered with a website in this day and age?
I don't think any major business will survive much longer without migrating at least some of it's business to the web.

DBM, if there was a way here to 'like' your post, I definitely would be pushing that button...
I could not have said it any more succinctly myself...

Canadian institutions only want your money? And NGC or PCGS are non-profit organizations?
