Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 04/06/2014 3:34 pm It's too big to be uploaded here, so I uploaded it in my DA instead. Warning: huge file! 10.2 MB http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2...-d7db14d.png Mirror-like surface throughout (there's the reflection of my phone on it) I don't know what the blue bits on the queen's hair and on the "a" of Elizabeth is. It's not on the coin. On the reverse's left rim the black/green is dirt. Will try acetone tomorrow (don't have any today). My magnifying glass is blurrying the rim. But I can't take photos near enough without. Edit: Sorry! I forgot to ask for grading I need to proofread better * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Altaira 04/06/2014 4:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 04/07/2014 12:40 pm Thanks! I found it in a friend's change when I saw this not-so-yellow yellow coin, which I was curious about and looked at it and it turned out to be a 2003W! Aren't W mintmarks only for mint sets and not circulation, as far as I know? Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 04/07/2014 5:05 pm I wonder where the fibre came from? Just flying around and decided to land on my coin, I guess. I just gave the coin a soak in acetone, then looked at the coin under 40x magnification using a microscope. The brass plating is starting to peel off at the higher points, like the letters, loon, water lines, island with trees, queen's face. Also at backgrounds that are away from any raised parts. Is it just me, or is this coin lighter? I might be wrong though because all I've been handling lately are voyageurs. Report this Post to the Staff
