The 1954 half has some lovely mint luster z it is most definitely a business strike though

Thanks, mcshilling! I'm not very knowledgeable about such things, so I appreciate the clarification. I picked it up at a coin show this past weekend for $10 from a dealer who had a bunch of international coins that he was trying to get rid of. "PL" was written on the 2X2.

Quote: not a Proof Like... I believe that's because the US and Canadian definitions of PL differ. Hondo's Griffon coin would qualify as PL by the US definition, not in Canada. By a strange coincidence I sold 4 griffon dollars and three of those same Olympic coins for melt last Friday. One man's ...... Grading is not the only aspect of this hobby that is subjective.
