Once a sleepily little corner of the registry until recently but now the action is getting hot and heavy. New players in The Uncirculated Dollar sets and an even bigger surprise, The $2 Liz II Uncirculated and Proof sets are getting some play!

The footsteps are getting louder and I have to keep looking over my shoulder. Will I last another round of awards? Only time will tell.imageimage

    I have two batches in for grading and more to be posted this week, so sometime in the next few months there should be even more red!

    Starting to look like some new players are enjoying the Darkside as well. With the other side being so completive, it was only a matter of time before the Darkside Modern came of age.

    And with the canadian material as nice as it is, I can see why it is becoming so popular. I have always liked the canadian stuff, even starting to like it more. I think MadMarty is going to have allot of competition by June and beyond.

    These set are starting to pick up popularity rapidly. For myself, I know PCGS has gotten allot of my money slabbing canadians. Just haven't had the time to enter new sets.

    Marty..........We'll be extremely lucky just to get them back in time for the June awards. I have 6 - 20 coin submissions in 11-7-04, Out who knows when? Tried to beat the price increase and still waiting.

    Thats okay though, they are probally taking their time because they want to make sure in V2 that they are all PR69/70DCAM 's and MS68/69'ers.......... or maybe.......... they are just damn slow. Thats probally the case.

    I think it is Marty we ALL have to worry about, I beleive he works at the RCM and gets to take home coins of his choice an a daily basis. Heck, Marty probally owns 3/4 of all minted canadian coins........LOL Marty, again, great job on your upgrades and fine looking sets.

    It's a dog eat dog world and "WE ARE ALL" wearing "THE" milk bone underwear. Watch out for "Mad Dog Marty" he's coming to eat us up. (If he hasn't done so already).

    BTW - Great Job Marty.................image

    Can't argue with you there! Once I heard a Canadian Registry was starting I started snatching up all I could. Canadian auctions are getting way more hits than U.S, and that's a fact! We will see what my set will bring on the Feb 22nd, which brings me to another subject, Superior. I am not at all happy with them, they sure are lost when it comes to Canadian coins. It sure seems coincidental that one of my nicest coins, the 37(a beautifully toned piece in PCGS MS65, Pop 12/2), has some object going across the neck that is not there, Im starting to think someone at Superior is trying to get it for a song, they still have'nt fixed the pic after looking at the coin and acknowledging that its not the coin or slab! That coin should kill the estimates but that pic is not going to help!
