O-dog New Member Canada 15 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 9:15 pm Thanks! How would one distinguish a proof from a mint-state coin? Bought for $15 BTW. :D -Owen Edited by O-dog 02/09/2015 9:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Vancouver IslandCoinKid Forum Kid Canada 1074 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 10:08 pm $15 is great! Trend is $35ish silver is a little under that... but a couple of years ago that would have been the minimum value just talking intrinsically! so nice pickup again! Usually the rims are much more square and cleaner looking. I often see the fields with a chemical reaction spotting (milk spots) from the plastic containing package. There is also a more obvious way to distinguish PL through the Cameo on the queen or the reverse details. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1962-Canada-...af87d&_uhb=1 http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1958-Canada-...em58a8bfbfc3 Edited by Vancouver IslandCoinKid 02/09/2015 10:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 10:43 pm PL-60, the coin appears as if it was thrown in a junk box with other coins. If this were a circulation strike I would give it a 63 but seeing as it was a special strike and kept under strict precautions by the mint to keep it gem quality I wouldnt budge on the 60 grade. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21667 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 08:43 am I agree that it is a PL grade dollar but also agree with the dollarman as to it being around PL60. Just too many small marks to be graded higher. A PL coin should have a near perfect field as it is not meant for circulation. Probably worth about $25.00. Still a good buy though.

SelectCoinCanada Valued Member Canada 414 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 09:01 am Definitely a PL and I don't see any trace of this being in a junk bin. The 'foggy' looking fields are common on PL sets of 1960's, I'm with VancKid, pics look closer to a PL64 than a PL60. Report this Post to the Staff
