chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 3:53 pm Picked up some nickel dollars and 50 cent pieces at face at my LCS Saturday. Can you spot the specimen half? Nothing too special, but neat that someone cashed it in a face. Here's the toner, hard to get the colours exact, but pretty cool. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 4:44 pm I guessed 5th from the top. The square edge of specimens often create an illusion that it's thicker than a business strike. The rub on the frosting though Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 5:12 pm I say 5th from top of stack. Nice cameo on the 1986. Nice toning, great face value pick ups. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 5:58 pm I assume you meant proof strike? The meat in that sandwich should be the proof strike (middle coin, 5th from the top), it shows a full collar strike.

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 9:57 pm Fifth from the top and fifth from the bottom are both right ... middle too I'm vegan, so meat is incorrect! That toner sure stands out. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 10:31 pm I would like to have that toned 1972 50 Cent coin, to go with this 1972 toned SD. Shoot me a pm if you are interested in a trade or deal, they really belong together. I have a 1972 Specimen Set, I can take the 50 Cents out of that. Report this Post to the Staff
