Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 01/08/2012 11:58 am redlee - The coin with a lined background comes from a Specimen set. This is the usual background texture for all modern Specimen set coins. The coin with a plain background must have come from an Uncirculated set (aka PL set) since there were no loonies made for circulation in the year 1999. Report this Post to the Staff
