I don't think there was a proof, only pl's, specimens and circulation. Millions struck

No proofs were struck.
PCGS however will slab 1967 specimen dollars as PR.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

purelywasted thats what I thought. I just received a coin from a dealer I know. he had just broke open a roll of 1967 . I am going to buy the rest of that roll. I am going to get a deal this time andy. I know your going to read this. yes andy the coin you sold me is lacquered. I tell you why you could not see it with your camera. you took the picture on a slight angle. I will only buy half the roll hehehe

Looks like a specimen strike. Those sets are melted regularly...

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. |
