International Coin Certification Service (ICCS) is a third-party coin grading service. It determines the condition and authenticity of each coin it grades to provide consumers with an independent rating on which to judge the coin. They do not provide coin valuations. ICCS 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.

Famous quotes containing the words coin and/or service:
“The oft-repeated Roman story is written in still legible characters in every quarter of the Old World, and but today, perchance, a new coin is dug up whose inscription repeats and confirms their fame. Some “Judæa Capta,” with a woman mourning under a palm tree, with silent argument and demonstration confirms the pages of history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
