Not sure if the pics do it justice as to the colour and texture. Wondering what you take on this is...appreciate the input. Report this Post to the Staff

CanadianCollector Valued Member Canada 306 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 3:00 pm I could be wrong but I believe this is out of a mint set. I have found a loonie and toonie from a set and they scratch quickly in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 4:49 pm Impaired proof-like (PL) strike. Specimen coins back in 1995 were also mirror finishes, but the rim suggests to me that this was a PL strike. Your photos are fantastic, and a coin like this is a perfect reference to highlight the points of wear on the diademed portrait of the Canadian 1-cent series. EF-45 grade in my opinion. I would like high resolution copies of these photos for instructional purposes, please send me a PM.

Ningcumpoop Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 08/03/2013 12:36 am I found a 1992 caribou quarter in an arcade all scratched up similar to the penny above. It was obvious PL in the fields protected by the height of the legend etc. I kept it anyways. Report this Post to the Staff
