Did you look at Australian ebay or US ebay?

I've picked up a few Canberras in PCGS slabs (MS64) these past few months for about $90 to $130 each

Nicely done Neil, Most of the graded Canberra's that are US listed usually have high/ambitious price tags on them :good:
Also a rather large percentage of the Australian listed Raw coins that are described as Ch UNC and Gem UNC by mostly dealers are listed at "Bluesheet" values and finding accurately graded collector listings are getting few and far between as well  lately.
I am not that interested in paying Bluesheet values for Raw coins, I'm thinking that if these are as good as they say they are Why haven't they been graded yet?

I used to be able to find at least 1 nice Canberra each week, But over the last couple of years this seems to have become quite tough and that's why I have been getting the graded coins :ok:

I didn't know it made a difference. I'll try it on the US one :winkextra:
Found it thanks Neal, nice coin :good:

This MS64coin arrived today and unfortunately the toning on this one is rather dark and ugly.
The bottom third of the coin has a "sooty" appearance.
I am tossing up if I send it to PCGS for "Conservation" or not .
This is also the coin with the dodgy cert#

hum I recall commenting that this looked like a Newcastle coin
not Newcastle coins the seller
but coins from towns like Newcastle where the airborne sulphur buggers the coins with blackened tone & surface corrosion

[trout]

I'm no expert but that looks far from a 66.

I finally got the results back from PCGS on this one.

Cert # 14303260  MS65+

:scratch_one-s_head: I thought I'd suss pcgs and this is what I got.

Nice coin BTW and be worth a pretty penny.
The reverse is really nice :drooling:

HeHeHe
PCGS hasn't finished doing their stuff yet , that's why there is no info on the cert# search :ok:
My coin is now the main image when you look up the Canberra florins on the Pop reports, I haven't got my proper "Truview" image from them yet

[ausjack]

Cool, I'll have a look again later.
