Anyone deal with ICCS on a regular basis? Or at all.....!

cacheman

I need to send off 35 Canadian coins to ICCS but want to get all the particulars before I just go shipping them off across borders. I have their address and fee's for slabbing but need to know just how the Custom's tag should read so they don't get hung up in Limbo forever. Any help would be appreciated. Scott

Never used them, have you called?

cacheman

they might as well not have a phone since it is never answered. I guess I'll write to them and ask how to submit...what a pain.

When I picture ICCS, I see one old grumpy guy working in a basement somewhere.

I wish I could be of service here, Cacheman. But, I only buy their coins--I've never submitted to them.

I would not bother with them... They can grade coins which is good, but the presentation of those flips that they put the coin in is too much...thumps down. Sorry... but that is my view from the cheap seats.

BTW Cacheman,

That is one terrific Goetz... wow! I really like it.

My first thought was "why not just use PCGS?"

I would rather purchase Canadian graded by ICCS than PCGS.

Not that PCGS is inferior ... but hard plastic is harder to open than those flips.

I've bought a few but never submitted. One of the gripes about ICCS is that they have no web presence. But they attend all the big shows in Canada. I've heard that they will actually pickup at one show and deliver at the next (great for dealers not for collectors).

Well, I see an opportunity!!

Some day. One of my Piping bastions is just north of there on Yonge St........sadly, I'm heading elsewhere this year or I would smuggle them across and back (for a fee of course).
