jkol2369 Pillar of the Community Canada 607 Posts	Posted 09/08/2013 6:37 pm I don't think it did circulated for too long either.. Not too bad eh.? I never found anything like this before. Do you guys think it was mixed in bins at the mint or do you think it was deliberately thrown in circulation? Edited by jkol2369 09/08/2013 6:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 01:13 am In 1997 BU(PL) sets were issued with specimen finish. A very nice PL? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 09/09/2013 01:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 10:15 am Any chance that this could also be considered a "First Strike" as the used PL die gets put into business strike use? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 12:06 pm In 1997, it really does not matter. PL sets contained coins with specimen strike finishes on them... it could have come from either set.
