Nice coin... I would get it certified ... seems a close PL-66 which will get you close to $400.
Good luck !!

Agreed with getting that coin out of there. Bathe it in acetone to try to get rid of the PVC.

Am I seeing scratches under the Queen's chin?

That one is a specimen strike... probably SP-65

Here is my 1973 dollar. I would grade is SP-Ugly! Beware the PVC in these sets! And PS, the coin still looks this way after copious acetone bathing. The rest of the set was spending money.....   Edited by Smallcentguy

My 73's are now out of that OE PVC case. The best of them seems to be the 25 LB coin. My silver dollar also has some light staining on the Obverse. Haven't placed them in acetone yet. Definite fine die polishing on both sides. More showing on the right side of the Obverse and then below the horse to ground on the Reverse.    Edited by DEVLEC

SPP-Ottawa...Takes me awhile to read things and digest it.
You say SP.. and not PL.
Could you help me here as to why..? I do see a wire rim around the 25 cent piece,..and there is a Cameo... is that a few clues..and how does such a set mix up take place with these coins..?
Thanks again...

First clue: It's in the specimen set packaging.
PL came in sealed plastic film.

You can tell, by looking at the coin itself, but you posted a picture of the Prestige Double Dollar Set - all coins in those sets were specimen strikes - that made it easy...

Thanks so much.......It's been eons since I've looked into these and would not have realized that they were SP instead of PL.
Could have been costly to me ...in the future.
