My latest foreign submission to PCGS

I just received the results of my foreign submission received by PCGS on November 5. Kind of a hodgepodge, consisting primarily of coins purchased when I first became interested in foreign in the early 1970's. My estimates of the grades were pretty much spot-on, except for the Canadian dollar, which I thought deserved a 66 grade. I'm pleased with the 1917 1 Lira; it's the only MS65 for that date, with none better. The pics are those taken by PCGS, and do a good job of showing how the coins look in-hand.

Red Australian pennies are surprisingly scarce. This is one of the more common dates.

    I could be wrong, but I would think if ICCS looked at your 1949 Canadian dollar, they would see it as a business strike, not as a proof-like strike.

    The 1949 business strikes are extremely 'reflective' and are often graded as 'PL' by the US TPGs.

    I'm not positive about yours as it is only my personal strong feeling.

    Great coins by the way!
