Re: Recently inherited coin collection

This is a very daunting task when you are talking large volume of World coins. I suggest you contact any coin dealers in your area & seek their expertise. Check to see if there are any coin clubs in your area that can offer help. Before you do any of that, organise the collection the best you can by...

Re: Toned coin

Firstly, let's understand that toning is oxidation on the surface of the coin due to being stored in less than optimal conditions. That being said, sometimes toning can be really butt ugly & undesirable. In your case, many collectors would find that rainbow effect toning very desirable & would even ...

Re: 1973 Dollar Bills, Sequential

I agree coinguy. Nevertheless, I love the multi-coloured series of 1969 - 1975. I grew up with that series. Not worth a lot of $$ in this case, but still pretty cool. Keep collecting Sirkit. You will knock one out the ballpark one day....

Re: Is NGC better than ICCS

Sorry for the very late response to this question but feel I must chime in.... As you can see piepala80, opinions are like a-holes....everybody has one. I don't know how experienced you are, but my 2 cents (no pun intended) from a 40 year collector would always be the same to any collector in this w...

Re: Canadian Paper money

I would also consider Kijiji as well for the larger value notes. Your audience will be smaller & it may take longer, but you can avoid the 10 % of sale + TAX eBay charges. I have done it both ways depending on item value and always prefer Kijiji.
Good Luck

Re: Future of Canadian coin collection?

I agree that getting new young blood into the hobby has been challenging. The average attendance age in the last few shows I went to (GTA area) has got to be 60 ish. The focus of my collecting has changed & I have sold off a large part of my 30 year collection. My 22 year old son has some interest, ...

Re: 1954 'Devils Face" Canadian banknote

Hello Peter I would be very careful about placing raw notes in a frame for chance of damaging one of the notes in the process. I display many notes in a curio cabinet I have. What I do is put them in an acid free clear poly sleeve, then rest them on top of a small plastic easel (many types available...

Re: 1948 Canada Silver Dollar ICCS MS-62 Key Date

By the way Bill, I am fully aware of Mike Marshall & his efforts over the last 10 -15 years I believe. It took him a long time to get the RCMP on board & good for him for his efforts. In the case of this specific '48 Dollar, I personally had Brian (owner/ founder) at ICCS have a look to re-confirm a...

Re: 1945 Canada Silver Dollar ICCS MS63 Key Date

Thank you Bill. It takes a big man to admit they might have been mistaken . I (like you, no doubt) have been doing this for 35 years & with all due repect can spot a fake. Yes, they (China) are sophisticated now, but lucky me, all my coins were bought15+ years ago when fakes were obvious. I have to ...
