Nope, that's a PL strike.

It looks like the 1963 dollar is in plastic ? Where does the lacquer come in ? They like proof-like as SPP said, with cameo. Is that what you are referring to, the cameo effect, which is mostly found on proof coins ?
The roughness on the queen's shoulder on the 1963, which happened during minting, is often found on proof-like silver dollars. It doesn't happen on specimen coins - it would be completely smooth.

Here are some images that I used in my article: 1967, same settings on the microscope, same lighting, both coins were cut out of the pliofilm just prior to being photographed.  Here is a high zoom photo of the coin surfaces to compare the two, with and without lacquer.

Why were some of the 1967's lacquered but others are not? I have a couple lacquered 67 small cents that look exactly like the one SPP-Ottawa posted, but I found them in customer wrapped rolls so I just assumed someone did it on purpose.

DBM thank you very much for that heads up. TerryT the reason I thought they were lacquered was for the mirror finish. I thought well the Royal Canadian Mint made it clear. I was able to ask a question. so I did ask the question just waiting on an answer. I think this new charlton standard 2020 catalogue explains it. very well in agreement with DBM and spp ottawa mirror finish. still tho its would be interesting if I here anything from them. hope you all have a great one. if I get an answer I will post it here |

well the Royal Canadian Mint kept there word. this is surprising. well here is there statement. Okay, so turns out that about 6 proof-like sets during that time period were heat sealed in individual pockets (mylar packaging) to minimize tarnishing. But we don't believe that they were lacquered . The uncirculated sets in 1968 that were made from nickel were also not lacquered. well I have one 1968 set. so they can say what they want. I am going to open these sets. I will take some very high end photos. I will be sending these photos to them. |

here is the reverse to the 1963 obverse I posted. look at the effect the lacquer has around the paddlers. it causes a ghosting effect.  |

here is the 1967 out of plastic. I have a better 1967 than this one. I will also use a better 1963 and 1964 dollars. I hate to cut the 1968 out of plastic but I am going to. I will try to do a stack by hand. it will takes a while. it will be worth it,here is the images   |

well the mint has said. that they never coated any nickle coins. well here is a coin from a 1970 set. the full set is coated. like I said earlier, I have a 1968 set as well. they are all coated. some one has coated some. here is the images of the 1970 coin.   |

here is a 1981 quarter in a proof like set. if you ever wondered. if the plastic these coins are stored in breaks down . I would say they do look at the pieces of plastic laying on this coin. just like dandruff. here is the images a cut this quarter out. to look at it closer and to photograph have a great one   |
