JGG Pillar of the Community Canada 798 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 1:32 pm Three coins that I have found on ebay that are authenticated, but not listed in Charlton. Any thoughts? Are these legit? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 2:50 pm They are all legitimate. You need Volume II of Charltons to identify. The first is an error of the Bald Eagle series as the edge lettering was left off. The second is the Commemorative collectors .500 Silver Dollar. The third is a $10.00 Gold coin from the Gold Maple Leaf Bullion Series. Edit- Correct typo Edited by JimmyD 08/15/2018 12:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The second is the Commemorative collectors .500 Silver Dollar. The third is a $20.00 Gold coin from the Gold Maple Leaf Bullion Series. My 2016 volume 2 lists the 2013 Portrait of Power as a variant of the above: NGC should have listed it as the same "Portrait of Power, No Edge Lettering" which is included in the 7500 quantity sold, and books at $225 (a $75 premium) over the regular issue (BV $150). I would not consider this coin an "error" since both plain & letter edged are part of the issue As for the 2004 Maple Leaf, I could only find 2005 & 2006 $10 gold coins with the "M7" privy mark. Perhaps NGC has the date mixed up? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff
JGG Pillar of the Community Canada 798 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 6:33 pm Coin #2 is a PROOF variety, and I thought this coin was only ever done in SP for the silver version. The MS version is nickel? Coin #3 has a 2004 date on it, which Charlton does not list. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 6:53 pm Don't let the NGC label fool you... Coin #2 is a specimen strike.

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 9:49 pm the 1973 is indeed a specimen coin, and the gold coin is a 10$ issue, not a 20$ issue.. Report this Post to the Staff

Errors introduce new varieties, unique or not, and if significant enough these varieties can certainly be listed as part of the issue. What sets an "error" apart from other varieties is that it must be unintentional. The question is... was it intentional? Report this Post to the Staff
