Romaldkirk Dent Collection

About This Set: I have been working on this set for over 20 years. To assemble the set, I have purchased and searched countless coin rolls, bought and regraded quite a few coins in ICCS holders and I have bought a few coins in PCGS holders (including my 1954, 1957 and 1959). It is getting tougher to find good quantities of original rolls to search and my roll searching days may be winding down. That being said, in mid 2025 (just 1 day after the registry set deadline!), I added four new finest or tied finest coins that I submitted as raw coins.

At first I was surprised at how few ICCS coins successfully cross graded into PCGS holders. I sent many raw and ICCS coins to PCGS that resulted in disappointment. I have become a much better judge of PCGS's high grading standards for Canadian small cents. I will continue to try to upgrade this set with particular focus on the 1970s and 1980s.
