That coin is a proof, I have no doubt about it. I have more than 10 of those here at home to show you and at least 10 more specimen to compare. Quote:
The blue folder states "uncirculated" but the coin is a specimen. Are you at the bottom of a bottle of wine, again? You are contradicting yourself. Start at the top of the thread, and re-read your posts. Ignore all the other images, and look at the original poster's two images. Neither of those two coins are "proof" according to what the RCM defines as a proof strike - proof strikes have frosted devices, and do not have brilliant effigies (as shown).

Specimen we're available only in the blue folder. The other packages had proofs or business strikes, depending on the package.

I concede there being no "uncirculated" strikes. I was looking at the two dollar derivative section and read that the 1996 RCM/CP issue with the stamp and note contained a "Brilliant Uncirculated" toonie and showed a MS under the finish column.

t_y> Then are you saying that within the specimen finishes, there are both a wide ring and narrow ring?

Hmmm... Seems Business Strike also can produce the "wide ring"? See the pics of the 2012 old-style BU from roll - Obverse side has ""wide ring". Interesting! I checked my toonies on hand, all years of business strike from coin rolls or gift sets carry "narrow ring" (both side), except the 2011 park toonie and 2012 old style - the obverse side has "Wide Ring".   It would be nice if some toonie experts can explain how these two types of ring happen. Thanks a lot! |

Toonies have been counterfeited to death and then you have the German planchets, but I have no idea what year they came about.
It's the color and surface finish that delineates the German from the others.
