the canada mint has never laid a silver film over a coin before it was struck, that didn't happen.. not sure where you wish this to go, but, the coins you are showing do not , have a hologram/ holograph on them.. if they did the mint would have marketed them as such, ?

Rocky, I am having real trouble believing this, I search tons of rolls of modern coins for high grades. That said, I know a production manager at the mint in Winnipeg, I'll ask him to view this thread. Remember, the mint does use coatings to protect painted surfaces (e.g., poppy 25c). Have you tried other types of light? Such as UV light, or cathode luminescence?
There is no motive for the mint to hide their production process, other than to protect their plating technology copyright. They are already using plated steel - so they are not profiting by hiding intrinsic value. Frankly, the only way you are going to prove to me (remember, I am a scientist), is to demonstrate through either destructive testing (laser ablation ICP-MS) or non-destructive semi-quantiative SEM analysis, that something other than nickel, copper or steel is on those coins. High magnification photos with lighting and shadows, can play tricks on your eyes, and the nature of the surface can be interesting, especially when those production dies start getting really hot, from the rapid rate of striking coins.

For someone who has said that he has bad eyes, Rocky sure sees stuff that we don't.

okiecoiner yes I have a new pair of glasses. they wont operate for now. I am keeping my fingers crossed. but as long as they can keep giving stronger prescriptions. I am happy.
SPP-Ottawa yes I understand. I am going to see what comes from my contact. who knows maybe yours can fill us in on these coins. you all take care and stay safe. SPP-Ottawa if I can find another quarter I will cut it into. SPP-Ottawa could you check a coin on your machine. would it identify the plastic or do it only see metals.

I has found a way to get a little more mag out of my glass. what I am seeing is metal particles reflecting some light very near the surface. here is some thing to think about https://angelgilding.com/mirroring-plastics |

1966 5 cent coin struck with silver proof die. Check your sources rocky. There were no silver proof 5cent coins struck in 1966, in fact there were no silver proof coins of any denomination until many years later. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

You are correct! There is NO SILVER on that copper 1964 cent.  The only Canadian cents I know of with silver are 2012's and 2017's. |
