But this one looks much better than the other. Don't see proofs listed in Charlton but what a great strike on this coin Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21596 Posts	Posted 01/05/2026 5:32 pm There were no proof coins in 1859 There was a specimen finish but it had a brilliant relief against a brilliant background but it is rare and worth four figures.

Maybe posted both to show "one looks much better than the other."
