All of our Canadian coins are acquired directly from the Royal Canadian Mint
- The counterfeiting of numismatic coins, and the sale of stolen coins, are serious problems for coin collectors and dealers.
Unlike many other coin dealers,
to protect against these risks, we do not sell 'second-hand' coins.  All of our Canadian coins are stored in a climate controlled, smoke-free vault.

“
Unsearched”
—
All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”.
Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint.  They "cherry-pick" the best coins.  Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc.  These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices.  When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.
Photos:
When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed.  Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.
Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces.  However, tilting the coin may
result in
one side being
slightly
out of focus.  Please review all of the photos provided to obtain the best understanding of the coin's actual
appearance.
Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings.  Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint.  We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting.  We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
