Canadian Silver Dollars...best trusted source

JoshL

Does anyone have some suggestions for a trustworthy - honest - source for higher end Canadian Silver Dollars? Graded coins...slabbed.

Thanks

I am not making any recommendations on who to buy from... but I think if you are going to get involved in high grade examples, there is alot more to it than buying something graded by ICCS, PCGS or NGC.

Not all coins within grades are equal and I find that to be especially true for Canadian Dollars. Keep in mind that designations are used by ICCS that may not be used by NGC or PCGS for certain coins. I do not believe PCGS or NGC will use a CAMEO designation for a business strike that is MS... Both NGC and PCGS will use the cameo designation for PL coins. I am not sure that PCGS or NGC will use varieties for full water lines and short water lines for dates such as 1954.

I think the GeorgeV, George VI and Elizabeth series THROUGH 1967 are really interesting... and perhaps alittle under appreciated. I think the PL examples have a following but I do not think most appreciate the business strikes for their rarity in a decent grade.
