I own the ex Pittman 1921 50 cent (The king of Canadian coins) in ICCS MS-65 it use to be in a PCGS holder as a MS-65. ICCS in Canada brings premiums for such coins...PCGS is #2 for this type of coin in Canada. Purchased it in May of 2010. This is now the only Canadian coin I have and I am looking to make a trade versus 1 or 2 major U.S rarities.
My asking price is 300 000$ in cash or trade.
This is my coin in it's ICCS holder:

If you are interested or know of someone that would be please contact me. This is the real deal no games. It is the 3rd highest known (the PCGS MS-67 will be donated to the Ottawa currency museum when that person passes away...so this makes mine the 2nd highest available 1921 50 cent. The owner of the PCGS MS-66 is asking 400 000$ for his coin...all this is common knowledge in Canada and CAN be confirmed) of this amazing coin (3 to 5 known in mint state and about 70 in good to very good condition...oh yes and 3 in AU). I can give you references for top dealers in Canada that know me on a personal basis to alleviate any worries you may have. They all know I own this coin.
This coin since 1964 has a annual return rate of 7,5% a year based on my calculations (worth 8000$ in 1964 and now 300 000$ in 2012).
Take care.

Interesting catalog descriptions about the coins, helpful to anyone interested in learning about them.
From the Heritage auction description:
Ex: John Jay Pittman Collection, KM25a, MS65 PCGS. Often called "The King of Canadian Coins," the 1921 50 Cents is one of the most storied of all Canadian coins. This piece, from the Pittman Collection is totally original with wonderful rose-gold toning over lustrous surfaces with a single tiny mark by the bridge of George's nose. Pittman purchased this piece in September 1958 from C.C. (Tim) Shroyer for the then princely amount of $1,716. Only the British Columbia $20 and the 1936 "Specimen" Dot Cent cost him more in his Canadian collection. The 1921 50 Cent piece is one of the coins, along with a Dot Cent, that was stolen in the robbery of Pittman's home in 1964. It was later returned loose in an envelope with other coins. This is how it acquired the small mark by the bridge of the nose. Everyone who collects Canadian coins aspires to own a 1921 50 Cent. Few ever have the opportunity, and fewer still can say that have owed a legendary coin such as the John Jay Pittman example.
