Here's an auction showing one of their "slabs" - actually a heat-sealed Saflip. http://tinyurl.com/9azpfr Beyond that I'll defer to RWF, who has considerable experience with ICCS-graded coins. RWF, ya there? James |

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. |

Thanks. ~Anka Hello You might want to try the link shown below. I hope it helps. http://www.canadiancoincertification.com/ CCCS is a completely different service than ICCS. I have several CCCS graded Canadian coins and find them to be accurately graded for the most part. CCCS was sealing its coins in soft plastic flips (like ICCS) but has recently begun offering the option of a hard plastic case at a slight additional cost. |

It determines the condition and authenticity[1] of each coin it grades to provide consumers with a rating on which to judge the coin. It was founded in 1986, and is located in Toronto, Ontario. The company will grade coins from most countries but is particularly known for grading coins of the Canadian dollar. ICCS is respected for offering conservative and consistent grades. They currently package coins they have certified in a PET film envelope which is sealed in an outer flip style envelope. The other side of the flip is sealed with the ICCS grading certificate. The certificate shows the assigned grade, a certification number and any comments, (cleaned, coin variety, etc), that apply to the coin. The company recognizes major varieties and many minor ones. ---------------- http://www.coinoisseur.com/GradingCoins.html The leading coin grading services that grade Canadian coins a Canadian Coin Certification Service (CCCS) in Longueuil, QC - www.canadiancoincertification.com International Coin Certification Service (ICCS) in Toronto, Ontario - 416-488-8620 Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) in Parsippany, New Jersey - www.ngccoin.com Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) in Newport Beach, California - www.pcgs.com --------- Find some more info he http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/t...TOPIC_ID=36414 http://reviews.ebay.com/ICCS-NGC-Can...00000005904215 http://www.canadiancoin.com/ |

CCCS was sealing its coins in soft plastic flips (like ICCS) but has recently begun offering the option of a hard plastic case at a slight additional cost. You may have discussed this previously, but a few issues are worth bringing up again: 1) How is it that two supposedly independent third-party grading companies chose nearly identical (and very different from those of U.S. TPGs) packaging formats? 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. 3) Have any fakes of these packages been confirmed? TIA, James |

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. |

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. James |
