Loruca Valued Member Canada 242 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 12:51 pm Update! My "source" also got 15 rolls of halves, ALL uncirculated 1965. I picked out the nicest possible pieces out of them, they all seem to have been struck with the same dies. (see the "dot" on the queen's cheek). I feel stupid for not also buying one with less "cameo" but the die polishing mark was on most of them. This particular example needs an acetone bath, badly, but still looks like a solid 65 with a chance at 66 afterwards. Here's where it gets interesting though: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://www.colonialacres.com/v/vspfiles/photos/50-0827-2T.jpg&imgrefurl=https://www.colonialacres.com/product-p/50-0827.htm&docid=CfPXrSfGIxLbiM&tbnid=TU78uyGER1rWKM:&vet=10ahUKEwiY2M71mK_gAhUJ8IMKHUQuDQIQMwhCKAQwBA..i&w=400&h=400&itg=1&client=safari&bih=837&biw=1440&q=50%20cents%201965%20heavy%20cameo&ved=0ahUKEwiY2M71mK_gAhUJ8IMKHUQuDQIQMwhCKAQwBA&iact=mrc&uact=8 Please excuse the huge link, but it leads to a coin for sale with the same exact die polishing cheek mark graded PL-66. So my question is, 15 rolls? How is it possible that there were 15 rolls worth broken out of PL sets? (could a die have been reused to strike coins for circulation?) I am very very lost. Anyone care to illuminate me? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Coin collectors sometimes hoard the strangest things... I once encountered a collection where the owner had cut apart about 200 PL sets from each year: 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1967, and had the coins all neatly organized in those square coin tubes... Shrug... it happens... "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

Loruca Valued Member Canada 242 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 9:09 pm Thanks SPP, I guess you have the experience to have seen this sort of accumulation before! As for the queen's chin, it's just a result of die polishing, (I find it quite attractive) the dies were polished to the point that the bottom of the chin (right under the lip) received the same finish as the fields.

GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1527 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 11:14 am I find that US TPG's grade most of our Canadian coins (modern) as PL if they are a nice example because our coins are issued very shiny right across the whole coin. There is next to no velvety luster on our coins like there is with US coins. Anyone else agree? Report this Post to the Staff
