Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 12/13/2014 9:23 pm Looks like it hasn't been in circulation for too long. The plating of these coins seem to "rub off" at the high points. The yellow on these coins look more brassy than on normal circulation coins. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21604 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 08:49 am Looks like it has been broken out of a Proof Set in which case there would have been about 95,000 minted. The good news is that it would be sterling silver with the core plated in gold, hence the colour difference. Definitely a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
