Another Question, I noticed my 1906 50 cent piece, "which has seen better days"has a flipped Edward on the reverse. Does that mean anything, or was that the way they were?

Hi !
For what poay for that ?
My idea it's that you just to find a collector near you or going in a local market with few coin's to have a first idea. If all coin that you show are overgraded the rest are probably to same think too.
Post a bigger scan of your "key" item and check the comments ?
Thanks !

Hi !
I don't know all variety but with my catalogue...
Rapidly in your dollards in 1966 and 1967 it have a rare variety... the rest is under 50$ in the best way at MS-60
For the 50¢ if you have the big date without shoulder strap is about 50$ at A.U
THe 1946 have 2 variety I don't know how translate them ( probably call hoof in the 6 ) but you can check on internet to find them the good one have a value of 650$ at A.U.
THe 1949 " hoof on 9 " are about 275$ at A.U.
For the rest is about under 50$ for each.
Anyone are able to make a little bite ? :P
Thanks !

That is one collection to be proud of. Canadian coins, especially the earlier ones, have low mintages. Save it for the future.

That is a beautiful collection. I think you are wise to move slowly as there is a legacy here. This collection was put together with great care.

I have two things to add:
1) I don't understand your grampa's use of two grades per coin, did he grade each side or is it a grade range? You posted 4 large scans of silver dollars on Sunday; the second 1949 is definitely NOT MS-60/MS-62, I'd say EF-40. This implies your grampa's gradings are not necessarily correct and more work is needed. Perhaps he wanted to sell the collection at one point and was a little optimistic: there's nothing wrong with that, we all do it. If you ever get to Toronto you could take a few of your best coins to ICCS for professional grading as mentioned above. By going in person there is no risk of losing them in the mail.
2) you have revealed your name and where you live and its a very small town. You now have a bit of a security issue as your collection is quite valuable. I'm sure you already know this and I don't mean to scare you, but a lot of coin collectors are secretive about where they live for fear of a break-in. Even at coin clubs we don't reveal personal stuff; you never know who could be listening. 99.9% of coin collectors are good folks you can trust, but there is always that .01% element you need to be aware of. You can put some of the more valuable coins in your parents' safe deposit box at the bank and keep photos of them for the collection at home. Don't show them to too many people...keep your doors locked and hide the collection carefully so it's safe when you are away. Or keep half of it at another house or secure location, preferably in a fire-proof safe.
Most important: have fun and good luck!

I have been sending coins to ICCS for about 10 years now by express post and have never had a problem on ether end but just use ICCS 2010 Yonge ST Suite 202 Toronto Ont. M4S 1Z9 not the words on your envelope and never put the word (coins) in the address.
Or you could give them a phone call at (416) 488-8620 Fax (416) 488-6371 Scott Cornwell. they will tell you your options on how to get your coins to them the safest way I hope this helps.
