The Canadian Coin Certification Service CCCS

ajaan

If someone is looking for an alternative to ICCS to grade and certify their Canadian coins, I recommend CCCS. Especially if you want conservative grading. Their customer service is top notch* and fees are very reasonable, especially if you submit 10 or more coins. And they have a website!!!!!!

*emails are answered quickely and politely. I had them misattribute a coin, brought it to their attention, they corrected the problem and gave me 10 free submissions to 'make things right'.

CCCS Remember, prices are in Canadian Dollars.

how difficult is it to get the coins thru customs (twice)?

I ship the coins via Registered Mail in an envelope. I put the coins in a Safe-T-Mailer type mailer. There is a risk involved in that they can only be insured for $44.85 but I have never lost a Regisitered Mail item to Canada. I also enclose a letter that simply states that the coins are for service and will be returned to me, the owner. CCCS didn't have to pay any customs on the coins I sent.

The coins are shipped back via Registered Mail, C$15 is the return shipping fee. I've never had a problem getting a Registered Mail item from Canada.

Hey, I even have a couple of them. I bought them from a guy who looks a lot like you.




Nice full red 1939 cents, the MS63 looks like a 64/65 to me, but what do I know?
