New Canadian Registry questions.

DAM

I've been looking for a pop report for Canadian coins and can't find one. Does PCGS compile pops for Canadian coins?

If not, with the addition of the Canadian Registry, will PCGS provide a pop report for Canadian coins? I thought I would ask here first. If no one knows I'll address my questions on the Q&A board.

Let me know if you find out. KeithDagen and I are dying to know (well, at least I am).

I know the answer to this, but I'm waiting to see which one (Keith or Shiroh) dies first from the anticipation.

The only Canadian population I care about is projections for when those Canucks will be extinct.

Since I lie Keith's answer, I will reveal the answer. PCGS does not publish a Canadian pop report. If you need to know the pop for a Canadian coin, just call their customer service and they will look it up for you. That's what Rick told me.

That sucks! It couldn't be that hard to make it available on line? Could it?

Maybe after the CDN Registry gets going they'll make it available.

Why waste web space for the four people who collect those coins. A phone rep seems like a good way to do it.

I want to see who ends up with the No.1 Loonie set.

Shiroh is by far the number one "loon" around here.

First, though it's not important, I don't collect Canadian coins. Although I have accumulated a few over the years.

Second, I think it would be difficult to decide what grade to purchase for your set if you didn't know the pops. Even if money was no object, how would you know what the highest grade for a coin, and how many there were? Makes it tough to say you have the best set until you list it. I would think.

This one's the "finest known" PEI cent, according to its owner, an eBay Coin Board acquaintance of mine. But another member of that same board also has a PCGS MS67 RD PEI, so I guess it's a tie.
