Is My Toonie A Specimen?

Thanks persistnt. How do you actually tell if it's a specimen or not? I just know specimen has a lined finish.
And the fact that this toonie looks different than the rest that it sort of "glows" because it's so shiny.
Also something I don't see in the other toonies. When you look at it from above, the bear looks lighter than the other relief. When you look from an angle, the bear looks darker.

Here it is beside a 2011, which is somewhat nicer than that 1996.

For SP. they are reversed or opposite,the field is opposite the design relief..

I think specimen coins look like they've never been touched.

A 25c or 50c canadian is better to look at,to tell if SP or circ,,say 2009 to now..So say a 2010 25c piece look at a regular and then look at Specimen of same or similar...Now yu may see what I mean by opposite or backwards fields,,,etc...

Thanks, all. I guess it is the lined background on the toonies that threw me off too.

Specimens look very different the ones from before 2009 and after 2010. The 2010 ones look like the designer went overboard with the lines.

By the way, is finding a 2003W loonie in circulation mean that it's an impaired proof-like?

So not all coins that were pulled from sets called impaired proof-like if entered into circulation?
