Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2520 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 12:22 am I picked this out of a bin. Too bad the obverse is a bit dirty. Or some weird speckly toning. Looks pretty clean to me, what do you guys say it grades? Not too easy to photo since it's pretty shiny. Report this Post to the Staff

TimbersFan Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 01:16 am I'm certainly no expert on Canadian coinage, but if it is a proof that is a nice pickup. I say PF or MS-66 or 67. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2520 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 01:35 am I don't think this is a proof since it's not so mirror like. I've been trying for better pics but artificial lighting isn't very good. I think I should just try taking a photo in the morning. Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 05:33 am It looks like it may have been a proof that has been in circulation for a while, thus scratching up the fields. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 09:33 am First thought was that it was a proof. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9871 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 11:29 am There are no Canadian proof coins from 1965. From the pics it looks like an escapee from a BU set (aka PL set). "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2520 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 12:14 pm So here are the better pics: So a PL it is then? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 8:13 pm I concur with DBM... an escapee from a 1965 PL set... you can pick these up, in much better condition, from dealers junk bins for 50-cents or less.
