While I thank you for your response, it is good to know that some one reads these, I do not really think you know what I refer to, or you much be very new.
UNC is not a grade, it is a classification. In coins there are classifications, one is circulated (G4-AU59), Uncirculated (MS60 to MS 67), proof strike (PL60-PL67) and specimen strike (SP60-SP67).
Look in any real coin book, like Carlton, refer to Canadian coin news, refer to the site I use often Coinsandcanada.com.
If you need someone to prove that the existence of those finishes, then you are very new, which is fine. I am kinda new and still learning all the time.
All the grading companies grade just as I stated, they NEVER grade anything as UNC, and if you see one graded that you have to ask them what does that mean, is it MS60? or MS62? The price almost doubles each point it goes up. Just as it does when the grade goes from vg to fine, or XF to AU.
I almost said serious collectors, but in reality ALL collectors HAVE to be aware of these things. A third of my collection (and I have every Canadian coin year, and most varients, is UNCirculated. They are rated MS60 to MS 67. Coins you get out of a fresh bank roll are MS 63 to 65 depending how much they have been moved around. Coins out of the PL coin sets that most of us get every year, are usually around MS65 when they get graded properly. They are NOT just UNC. IF you call them UNC then you are serious hurting the value of your collection as from what I can see the UNC here is just the price of MS60.
Now, I have heard back from this site. They are fully aware of what I am saying, and intend to put these into their system. However due to the scope of all the products, languages etc etc etc it will not be done soon. I hope by the end of this year, which then I will enter my collection in perhaps. Now I will still use it as it is a GREAT site overall and I wish I knew about it years ago, but I will try to use the swap feature as I think that is the best. Too many people I meet who collect only want to see and make money, they do not help other collectors build collections, just shelfish. If I can trade with someone and one of us make the difference in a few dollars great. I like this site as it seems its for REAL collectors, not dealers like everywhere else seems to be for.
There are still a few weird things about the banknote part of this site. Maybe I am not understanding it all the way but several bills/signature/year combinations seem to be missing. IE with bank notes there is no selection of a 2006 Canadian $5 Notes that have Jenkins/Carney or Macklem/Carney. All 2006 $5 seems to be just the jenkins/dodge varieties.
so Idolenz , Plese refer to coinsandcanada.com or anywhere else as some of your assumtions seem to be off :)
Good luck in your collection!
