purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 01:06 am If anyone is ever looking for documented evidence on these cases, here is a page from the 1968 Mint Masters Report describing them. The 1969 report, says the 1968 cased dollars never sold well, so they used the remaining 1908-1968 case for 1969. This explains SPP's picture of a 1969 coin in a case meant for 1968. I should have taken a picture of this page from 1969 report. Unfortunately it does not list any details of the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10464 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 12:04 pm I bought a case from ebay recently... I figured I had the 1968 specimen dollar, so I might as well have the proper case of issue. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/CANADA-1-19...312290306587 "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.

Raynac New Member Canada 28 Posts	Posted 12/21/2018 11:57 pm Is it normal for coins in a case like that to still get all those dings on the cheek and neck of the queen? I'm new so I still struggle trying to grade uncirculated Report this Post to the Staff
