The 1954 half has some lovely mint luster z it is most definitely a business strike though

Thanks, mcshilling! I'm not very knowledgeable about such things, so I appreciate the clarification. I picked it up at a coin show this past weekend for $10 from a dealer who had a bunch of international coins that he was trying to get rid of. "PL" was written on the 2X2.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

not a Proof Like... I believe that's because the US and Canadian definitions of PL differ. Hondo's Griffon coin would qualify as PL by the US definition, not in Canada. By a strange coincidence I sold 4 griffon dollars and three of those same Olympic coins for melt last Friday. One man's ...... Grading is not the only aspect of this hobby that is subjective. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
