So I went to my dealer today, and he had a set of Canada silver dollars, in a nice leather holder, with all the certificates..    And the best news, I paid spot/melt price value on all the coins,including the case thrown in for no charge.. |

I have never seen a case like that. I wonder who made it?

@silverwolf: Congrats on the very nice purchase. The SDs look sharp in the RCM wallet! Quote:
I wonder who made it? I don't know the manufacturer, but I can tell you that the RCM sold separate leather wallets for its silver dollars, $100 gold coins and $200 gold coins. They charged $74.95 CAD for each of them. I think they were offered in the early 2000s. I thought they were nice, but I would have had to buy at least five of them for my SD collection (at the time) and that amounted to too much money for holders/cases!

Congrats, great find!
I think, for the specific subset of SDs this display style / storage is very nice.

An excellent buy in the numismatic after market. This sort of happenstance is the reason why I am not attracted to newly issued mint product. Better price driven cherry pick bargains are to be found by the second buyer. |

Discreetly slip an AmEx Platinum card in the slot behind one of those Certificates and make that sweet thing your new everyday wallet.

Great deal! there's so few coin shops anymore! I'm surprised they're able to sell at spot and give away high end coin holders free. Makes no sense! Oh well! good buy!

There is the other side of this story, the LCS must have paid much less than bullion to original, such a sad state for unpopular NCLT

the LCS must have paid much less than bullion to original i agree, shop pays 2.50-3.00 per coin less than spot/ per coin. then sells at full spot. Just like bullion coins, where they pay spot, or spot plus a buck, then sell for 3-4$ over spot. |

The point I was trying to get was why didn't the LCS pay melt like bullion coins, around the GTA for the last year or so honest dealers just refused offers for NCLT and the other dealers offered melt. You can be sure the original owner will not continue in this hobby
