You would get interested parties either way, I suppose you would have to find out the difference in selling price between graded and not to tell if it would be worth the cost to you. Because you have to add in that expense when you sell, I think you would lose more customers over gaining any.
I say leave it as is. It's in a decent holder that describes what it is, but also any layperson can clearly see for themselves the rotation. Any buyer that is more interested in the grade than the rotation, probably can and will self grade the coin, then send it to a TPG if they so choose. |

I would like to know the reason as to when or why the Heaton mint would apply their mark, as some coins produced by them have none.
Was it left up to the authority that commissioned the coin that decided to add the mint mark or was it the mint itself? Was it added only if Heaton engraved the dies themselves? Or perhaps only if there were two or more mints producing the same coinage and there happened to be a problem, it could be traced back to the mint that produced it?

I respectfully ask that you read Mikes post again.
He put in brackets what he means by "monkeyed with", (reprocessed or de-plated), which means replated or deplated at any point, this would then have to be proven by certification.
He is not implying cleaned, whizzed, buffed or any other process that might improve the appearance of the coin. |

I believe Mike did reply, he said PMD, unless you can find certified genuine ones that match yours.
The problem with plated coins is that they can be deplated, something added, and then replated. The replating process can be controlled to add a fine or thick layer as you see fit. This could have been done in a high school lab or even in somebody's home, as the process is not overly complicated and you can probably find all of the materials needed in your house.
Keep in mind, this could have been done in the 50's, 60's, etc., which still gives them lots of time to become tarnished and corroded.
In my mind, there are only two explanations for your coins.
1. Deplated or not, bumps added, replated. (Which is the most likely answer, considering how easy it is to do)
2. Die chips. (Which means you would have to find at least one more exactly like one you have, or send one for certification to a reputable TPG) |

The first sentence of the article is encompassing all Canadian dollar coins, including 1935-1967, which I would agree are highly collectable.
Personally, I find it inaccurate to specifically say nickel dollars are highly collectable. I may be way off base, but it seems to me, one would have a hard time selling the common variety for much more than face value. |

The original article title only says collectable, CCFPress added "highly" to it for some reason.
In general terms, I just think "highly collectable" and "nickel dollars" should not be used in the same sentence. At the same time, I will agree that this may not hold true for some niche collectors.
Regardless, thanks CCFPress for the wonderful article. Keep em coming. |

Very nice token, one of my favourites. I agree with you, fine wool with rosettes.
My LCS tells me that a lacquered coin equals next to zero value, but I buy all that he has for 50 cents each anyways, because they are usually in such great shape. |

Say you were going to buy a brand new coin as an investment.
There are two options, you could buy a colourised version with a production run of 2 million, or the non colourised version with half the production of 1 million.
In your mind, which would be the more valuable of the two? |
