I was wondering on the current pop report of the above mentioned dime. 2013 ICCS has the pop at 21. As does current PCGS.(however most PCGS 65's are probably nice ICCS 64's). Also what would be a realistic value. trends is at $750,Coins and Canada is $790, and Charlton is way up around $1250. ebay doesn't have anything (except something from coinmart), and I can't find any for sale from the big guys. I haven't had time to search any past auctions. All comments appreciated. |

As for value, two old PCGS ones sold for 200-250, but an ICCS sold for 800. That was in 2010. That came from heritage coins

It has been my experience that PCGS and ICCS approach the grading of George VI series differently. IMO ICCS
is more critical of the open fields and PCGS places more emphasis on the high relief of the coin. Do not discount
a coin because of the holder it is in. Best to see the coin in hand.
Of my most recent ICCS submissions to PCGS of George VI material (10c & 25c) all crossed at grade except an
ICCS 65 twenty five cents which was downgraded to a 64. All of the coins were in the old ICCS flips.

The 48 dime in MS65 was a hard one for me to hunt down but was happy to get one at the RCNA show in Halifax 2 years ago had to pay a good buck for it but worth it, not many of them around--- for now anyway. |

I don't have the experience that a lot of members on this forum has but what I have learned through a lot of trial and expensive errors is that I would never shy from buying a coin graded by PCGS nor have thousands of other collectors all over the world who have confidence in them. I stopped sending PCGS graded coins to ICCS for cross grade because it was no surprise that in 99% of the cases they will come back lower and that to me is hogwash. If PCGS says it is a MS65 that's good enough for me. I agree with SPP

It really is an impossibility to compare PCGS with ICCS when it comes to Canadian coins. Simply , they are two completely opposed ways of grading. The coin market for Canadian coins is so thinly traded that market grading ( PCGS) just cannot work.
For every "overgraded " ICCS coin I have seen there are far more "overgraded" PCGS and NGC examples, especially with Victorian through George V circulated silver. Buy the coin NOT the holder. That is the best way to stay out of trouble.

Hi tfred, I am lucky enough to own a 1948 MS-65 dime bought in 1989 at Gatewest coin in Winnipeg so I keep an eye on any sales...there was a 48 dime in ICCS MS-65 that sold in the Canadian Legacy auction in Feb 2015 for $590 Cdn including fees...there was also one floating around on ebay for quite a high asking price, close to $1400 I believe but it had some type of error noted on it... EIther way, I wanted to pass this info forward...until recently MS-65 was the top grade for this coin, but now there is at least one in MS-66 As a side note, anyone have an idea of the value of a MS-66 48 dime? |
