Which of the 2 pics do you think is closer to the look of a 1974 Proof Like .50

The apparent cameo on #2 would make it more likely to deserve a proof like designation.

Exactly what I was wondering, the first one looks like it may well be a specimen.

@ moxking and others, your US definition of prooflike does not apply here, the Canadian definition of proof like is totally different.

So they are both the same coin 1974 PL
Left one is done with axle lighting and the one on the right is Jansko lighting.
I think the axle lighting makes it look good but does hide a lot.
