Saw a coin in a book. Got excited.

Then I did some research. I guess I won't be getting a British Columbia $20 gold.

    It is very rare. A pattern.

    If you can google it, Heritage Auctions has a good xplaination.

    these come up the odd time in auction lots.

    Probably your best bet to get , or to see one, is J&M in Vancouver.
    Call ahead , ask for Joe Orio (owner and decision maker if you can see it if he has one) .
    he is the same fellow who got robbed in Toronto some months back.
    Public transit takes you from YVR very close to his rather large shop in about 20 minutes.

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life

    What prices are we talking about for a coin like this? $20,000, $100,000 or more?

  • BillDugan1959BillDugan1959 Posts: 3,821 ✭✭✭✭✭

    PCGS' closest competitor says $38,500 and cites the sale of the Norweb specimen in 1996 at almost $26,000. This price 'quote' was for a 60 to 63 specimen. The Heritage website shows a more recent specimen that went unsold (apparently).
