Very nice Gold...., but 63 only? looks like a super coin!
wondering what did prevent this beauty from getting 64?
Current value for a 64 is CAN $ 1600, exactly double to a 63.
might be worth to break out and re-submit?
I concur. Those are mighty clean looking fields for a 63, at least based on what we can see in these pictures. And it's a fair-sized gold coin- we all know big gold was more prone to getting marked up, and I'm sure the TPGs forgive that accordingly- so it seems this one caught them in a rather strict mood when it was graded?
I've never had any Canadian gold except the 1978 $100 piece I posted above. Not even a sovereign or half-sov.

I bought the $10 gold piece right before the Bank of Canada issues were released. Unfortunately, I misread the market. I thought that a 1912 issue would keep its value because of its relative scarcity. But its a pretty coin.
that's cool I didn't know that. the last wood grain I got was a British 1/2D. I will say ICCS grades almost on spot with our host for MS examples atleast. I have had about 5 crossed over in the last 6 months. + or - 1 grade.
Your mint state quarter actually looks like a mint state coin, which is not always the case for TPG-certified pieces when I see grades posted. Mine is only graded AU55.

They did a pretty good job of reproducing the design, too.

do i rejoin the form and try and sell coins and show off some coins or not? (very hard choices)
Here is one of the very scarce Canadian rarities. Rumor has it that less then 10 are known (probably only 7)
I used to own this coin, but sold it to a very serious Canadian Rarities collector.
