Actually, I'm enjoying the ICCS vs CCCS discussion. I don't have a ton of graded coins yet, but that is about to change. I just cant decide which TPG to use. I'm sure that there are other readers of the forum that appreciate the exchange of opinions. |

I've got over 100 coins ready to send in. Also on the fence, bigtime.
ICCS - resale value for my higher end stuff will be good. Also will probably get higher grades on a few coins.
CCCS - will grade a few more varieties that ICCS wont.
which way to go...

Hi, playing around with my husband's coin collection, he no longer has the time or inclination. From Etobicoke and my most valuable coin is a 1915 $10.00 Gold Coin inherited from his Grandpa.  |

I have never had any coin graded by a third party. With only 7.69% of the vote giving high praise, a rating of 9 plus, I would be thinking twice before I used this company. The other factor is that there is only 39 votes.

personally I dont see why anyone would pay ANY TPG... if you are dropping $1000 on a coin shoudn't you know what it is you are buying and not trust your hard earned money to someone else's opinion? if not then I have a whole bunch of MS67s I like to sell you... |

I have some coins that I sent into ICCS over 15 years ago. Is there a cut off date as what can be determined for coins that are graded correctly compared to coins graded with a less discretionary eye? Can this be figured out based on the serial # they assigned the coins?

Welcome Angel....There was no 1915 $10 Canadian gold coins minted that I am aware of. They were minted from 1912 to 1914. Maybe you got the date wrong? They are definitely one of the nicest gold coins and hard to come by in high grade.

If I am ever lucky enough to get a coin worth shipping across the country, it WILL NOT be to ICCS.
Just my 2 cents!

Is there a cut off date as what can be determined for coins that are graded correctly compared to coins graded with a less discretionary eye? The older embossed tags were a telltale sign of the conservative era. Other than that, I've been told that the ICCS serials will not do you much good. As usual, SPP is the voice of reason. Buy what you like and don't worry about what's on the holder too much. I've moved quite a few coins from ICCS flips to CCCS hard slabs for the sole reason of the holder being the best out there. I've reduced my potential selling price by doing so most likely, but if you can't select your storage medium based on the enjoyment you take from viewing the coins, at some point you have to ask yourself what exactly is motivating you to collect in the first place.
