 When I purchase KEY date coins, I have been lucky in some cases (few and far between though) to have won them at 50% trends. In most cases, however, I pay anywhere from 70% to 100 % trends. The following I.C.C.S. graded key dates are some of the ones I've acquired in the past 5 months: ~1902H, quarter, MS-65 ~1908 dime, MS-65 ~1911, half, EF-45 ~1932, half, EF-45 ~1936, quarter, Bar variety, MS-64 ~1947, ML, silver dollar, MS-64, Ex-Remick ~1871H, dime, MS-62 ~1891, 22 Leaves, dime, MS-62  Glenn |

 Mr. MacKenzie, keep in mind that the coins you mentioned are not true collector coins for the General collector population. the majority of coins that sell on e-bay and other popular auctions sell for $1,000.00 or less and the VAST majority actually sell for less than $100.00. So when you start talking about coins valued at $10,000 +, these coins seldom sell for their asking price, if ever. I've never seen soo many KEY date coins sell so cheap in the past 12 months. I believe we are all in for a Future Shock in trends regarding the prices of Canadian decimal coinage from common dates to key dates. I feel overall that Canadian coinage is far over priced and should be dropped in half to stimulate the market and get collectors buying again. When they say that this is the "Hobby of Kings", you can understand why! Glenn  |

Depends how actually hard to find the key date is.
Usually, I try to pay no more than 70% of trends.
If its really hard to find, and I really want it, I would pay 100%.
My last major purchase was a 1904 50 cents in ICCS VF20.
I found it really hard to find in that grade (or better).
Trends is $800. When I saw it for $700, I snapped it up.

Mr. Mackenzie
lets just be sure YOU do recognize the fakes BEFORE you buy them...
AND Glenn.... I know why you want everything at half price........
SO you can buy more MS64s and 65s and MAYBE even 66s.
good for you..., but what will you do with your AU55s and 58s?
Glenn, its time we have another chat?
