Is there a way to tell the difference between pliofilm coins compared to uncir. roll coins? If the 2 coins were in 2x2's How do I tell if the seller doesn't devulge this info?
Just wondering because of the difference in price in the books.
Example
An ms64 C 50 cent is $10
an ms64 NC 50 cent is $1
Thanks
Dave

As far as I know, all plio-film coins are proof-strikes as opposed to business strikes. Proof being a completely different striking method from the business strike. Usually, fields on a proof are much more mirror like. That's how it was explained to me.

1968 is the exception to the above statement. Business strike nickel dollars were put in pliofilm strips of 5 coins per strip, and sold by the Royal Canadian Mint.

I was of the understanding that uncirculated set you can buy from the mint each year were business strikes but were handled by hand from the presses to minimize contact marks. Proof and Specimen sets were made by different striking methods and are produced in Ottawa.

I was talking about the set on Mint web site they call them "Uncirculated Set (2012)" and have the following in the description. "The 2012 Uncirculated set, which contains the seven denominations of coins produced this year. These uncirculated coins have been carefully selected to provide you with the best examples of their kind."

Sorry, I'm thinking the uncirculated Business strike sets.
I may be misunderstanding the Charlton book.
Is it not listed as Business strike, non circulated business strike, and proof?
my question is in regards to the NCBS. I know the difference with the proofs, I can see the difference there.
Thanks

It sound the same as the question; What is more costly and sought after? This comes from a dealers web sight.
PL-65 or MS-65?
Prooflike coin minted for collectors using polished fields with cameo frosted highlights.
Mint State- A term corresponding to numerical grades from 60 to70, used to denote a buisness strike coin that has never been in circulation. MS-60 is covered in marks and MS-70 is a flawless example.
With most coins, the MS-65 coin would be moe desirable dispite the fact that it is less flashy. It was the first to be released into circulation whereas PL-65 was internationally struck to be a show piece for collector sets and was protected and saved.
Thusly, although PL-65 is to many collectors more eye-appealing coin, MS-65 is generally alot rarer and thusly more costly when comparing PL and MS in the same coin.
I have not yet tried setting a PL coin and a frosted new roll find together to see the differences.
