chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 06/28/2016 8:59 pm The explorers series was put out in the early '70s and has twelve medals in the set. They are a plated base metal and don't have a lot of value, but do to the poor quality metal, aren't particularly easy to find in nice condition. Report this Post to the Staff
MrCanada Pillar of the Community Canada 650 Posts	Posted 07/01/2016 09:38 am I've seen the Provincal set and Prime Ministers but not the explorers would be interested in knowing who was part of the set. Report this Post to the Staff

lahave56 Valued Member Canada 204 Posts	Posted 08/08/2026 5:29 pm I am surprised that this will be the first contribution in ten years for this topic. Who knows, after 10 years maybe a few more have been uncovered. Interestingly, the one shown on Numista also has roller marks but they are going in the opposite direction.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26639 Posts	Posted 08/08/2026 7:12 pm Nice token, lahave! And thanks for the topic revival. As for roller lines, you can expect them to be random for all of the coins struck on that piece of stock. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
lahave56 Valued Member Canada 204 Posts	Posted 08/08/2026 7:34 pm Thanks HondoB my understanding is that the roller marks are caused by bits of stuff present on the roller or stock that get pushed along creating scratch like defects on the stock. Do I have that right? Where does the random element come from? Trying to visualize it. Report this Post to the Staff
