Greetings CCF

Like the post says, I am from Canada. I have been collecting pocket change for years but then I got it all organized and then started collecting coins more seriously with my 10yo son. we collect Canadian proofs, proof likes, circulation and non-circulation coins, rolls, errors, star/replacements, fancy serials, some US, some foreign currency and bullion,

I have also launched an online store with a 'coins' section for mostly Canadian coins (for now). The store does not represent the full diversity of my collection. I am currently considering certifying some bills at BCS and coins at ICCS but I am not very familiar with the certification scene or even if its a good idea.

I have been growing my collection mostly from coin shows in Ontario and colonial acres.

I look forward to meeting, trading/buying/selling, and learning with everyone here

all the best


CalmBud




ps - should I have posted this in the Candian CCF section?

Here is my thoughts on grading companies and which should be used.

PSGS and NGC (I think) are big name companies that will stand the test of time . They are corporations with employees and structure. ICCS is a one man show, at least from what I hear. Once he is no longer around, I'm not sure ICCS coins will continue to recognized.

It will cost more with PCGS or NGC then with ICCS or others but it will attract more buyers when its time to sell.

thank you @TheBurnz.

I understand it gets very expensive dealing with PSGS and NGC from Canada
