SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 11/10/2020 01:30 am For 1996 and 1999 dates, they are relatively common. Almost half of the value of that coin is the mere fact it is sitting in a PCGS holder (it costs about CAN$80 to grade errors with PCGS, if you include shipping, etc.). The more valuable errors are those where the core almost touches the rim, and there is a large gap in the middle of the coin. With that degree of offset, in that grade, in that holder, it is generally a $175 error or so...

I got $65 for a raw '96 in comparable condition about a year ago, but being graded, I'd expect yours to be in the $125-50 range (not to unnecessarily nitpick SPP-Ottawa, as in the same ballpark, but the '96 is quite common as far as these errors go). The '99 is a bit scarcer, but again, not a huge hurdle, and there I'd 100% agree with the above valuation. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 11/10/2020 10:02 am They don't sell. There is no demand at the above prices. Graded examples go unsold on ebay for many, many months years even. Raw ones do sell occasionally for $50-$75. I bought a couple of raw ones about a year and a half ago and looked before I leaped. A couple of graded ones that were listed then are for sale again or still. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 11/10/2020 10:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
norantyki Valued Member 404 Posts	Posted 11/10/2020 10:25 am @DBM - I don't know about ebay (as I have not yet had to list one there), but I have no problem shifting them OTC. I think it might be a matter of them being more appealing in hand? Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 11/10/2020 11:28 pm "demand" and "value" are a tricky thing right now demand (ie it WILL sell) is there, value (speculation) is a coin toss (no pun intended) If I were in a selling mood (I'm not) I would take whatever I could get for it, with the full expectation that cash-in-hand might be worthless (or at least severely depleted in value) in a few months. can't eat a toonie... so I would happily trade you for a cookie Report this Post to the Staff
