I hear a lot of Canadian coin dealers snickering that they are all just bullion right now.
I wouldn't pay a substantial premium for them that's for sure.
Here you have 100 year old coins with mintages that are not that high with a fair sized melt thrown into the mix. If the Canadian dealers are "snickering that they are all just bullion" regards of the grade, that shows a sad state of affairs for the Canadian coin market.

I bought this one from a Canadian coin dealer in January 2014:
Canada $10 1914 Gold

I later bought a Canada $5 1913 which was not in as good shape.

Very nice coin, practically free of marks/little chatter - very nice coin.
I just love mine, I think it's accurately graded and the price was certainly right:

@BillDugan1959 Thanks.
I agree they deserve a place in a book on hoards. I like the story and they are beautiful coins!
