Is it worthwhile to have Canada Silver Dollars graded by PCGS or only by ICCS?

    I prefer PCGS. I think it may depend in part on one's collecting intentions.

    If you're buying or selling in Canada, I've noticed the preference being ICCS when it comes to determining an "accurate" grade.

    Circulated coins will get a higher grade at PCGS. PCGS used to be more conservative on MS coins, don't know about that now.

    If high grade I'd send them to PCGS because most ICCS examples above MS64 do not seem to sell in the flips.



    They use a sealed mylar flip inside a soft (pvc) sealed outer which means you will not be able to photograph properly through the 2 flips once graded.



    I free everything I buy ICCS/CCCS graded and save the grading label.

    I prefer PCGS obviously bit selling into Canada is easier in an ICCS holder
