CLS12 Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 11/13/2014 10:22 am I was just looking through a cup of coins I've accumulated through travels. What's the chance of only Canadian quarter I have in cup being a proof? Either that or it has been well preserved in my cup since my last trip to Canada in 2005. Pictures don't seem to do it justice. Coin is like a mirror. Report this Post to the Staff

CLS12 Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 11/13/2014 10:48 am Thank you! Was thrown off by P mint mark and it being only Canadian quarter I have, so nothing to compare to... I've got plenty of Canadian pennies through roll hunting Report this Post to the Staff

The "P" is for identification of these blanks. Edited by JimmyD 11/14/2014 08:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
