Beats me. 2) �Wouldn't it be relatively easy to fake such packaging? �I'm thinking that there have to be items such as 1921 Canadian 50c pieces and Newfoundland 1873H 5-cent pieces residing in them. All packaging is relatively easy to fake, although the flips used by ICCS & CCCS seem to be especially vunerable. 3) �Have any fakes of these packages been confirmed? If they have, it hasn't been reported by Canadian Coin News or the RCNA. How is the editorial content of CCN these days? �I used to subscribe years ago, but somehow managed to let my subscription lapse. �I'm not actively collecting Canadian any longer, but always enjoyed the publication.

... How is the editorial content of CCN these days? I used to subscribe years ago, but somehow managed to let my subscription lapse. I'm not actively collecting Canadian any longer, but always enjoyed the publication. I enjoy CCN. All the latest news on RCM issues. Recently there has been an interesting series on Canadian error coins, an ongoing column about ancients and, of course, the trends. It is a bit pricey for a bi-weekly publication though. |

I could probably do without all the RCM announcements, but the error coin series sounds neat, and trends are always of interest. I wonder if they are any more accurate than U.S. price guides. I'd just monetize the subscription cost under "numismatic tuition" and sleep comfortably afterward. BTW, Pierre Charest has just released the 6th edition of his Canadian variety book. I just purchased the CD version and recommend it, particularly if you don't have any of the earlier ones. James |

Also, I occasionally get a message from my AV saying that it just blocked an attack on my computer, but nothing has ever come of it. You can buy it as a hard-copy book or as a CD. I like the CD, as I'm not sure how a book might survive the depredations of the two postal systems. Either way, it takes its good old time getting through customs. But his diagnostic diagrams are among the best I've seen for Canadian coins. YMMV, of course. James |

"RWF" wrote in message ... wrote in message ... Has anyone ever heard of/dealt with this outfit? I cannot find their web site, only references to it. Help would be appreciated. ICCS is highly regarded among collectors of Canadian coinage. They package their graded coins in double-sealed soft plastic flips. For some reason they don't have a web presence, a lack that many find puzzling. I've come across many U.S. coins in I.C.C.S graded flips Ebay auctions.I've bid on a few but haven't won one yet.For the most part they bring a premium over ANACs,ICG etc. |

Ebay will end the auctions for ICCS coins described as such if the auction is originated on the US Ebay site in all cases, AND on the Canadian Ebay site if the coin is available to US buyers UNLESS the bidding is listed in Canadian dollars. http://forums.ebay.ca/thread.jspa?threadID=600028058 |
