bullion-investor13 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 09/03/2013 6:30 pm Could someone enlighten me? i am starting to collect Canada cents and I am beginning to be a bit confused. There are 5 types of strikes from what my research outcome has came to. Questions: Did they man specimen and specimen frosted in the same years? Why is there 2 different types of specimens? What years did they make Proofs? What years did they make Proof Likes? What years did they make specimen frosted? i have been on http://www.coinsandcanada.com but I would liek advice from someone on here Edited by bullion-investor13 09/03/2013 6:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 09/03/2013 7:32 pm A good idea would be to get a Volume One Charlton catalogue. There is a page at the beginning on finishes that I am constantly referencing, as they can be quite confusing with some dates. It would explain them better than I ever could.

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 09/04/2013 09:20 am Don't seem to be any recent ones on .com, but there's this if you are only looking to use the part for the finishes: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-CHARLT...em35cab5bf07 Otherwise that I'd wait to get the 2014 one. Not sure if the 2009 has that section: http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-Charlton-...em19e167c8d9 Maybe someone here knows? Report this Post to the Staff
t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 09/04/2013 12:53 pm Quick correction: there are 4 strikes only: proof, specimen, proof-like and business strike. Matte (frosted), brilliant, etc refer to finish, not to strike. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 09/04/2013 2:56 pm Specimen strikes can be subdivided into two finishes. Those struck prior to 1997 with mirror devices on mirrored fields, and those struck 1997 and later with the mirrored devices and lined fields. PCGS and NGC have mixed them up in the past, because some ultra heavy cameo (or deep cameo, using US terms) have prompted US TPGs to call some proof-like and specimen coins of the 1950s-1970s as "proof" (even though Canada's first proof coins were actually struck for the 1976 Olympic series).
