JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21641 Posts	Posted 02/25/2015 9:07 pm It's probably from the 2003 Silver Proof Set Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 02/25/2015 9:16 pm I'm thinking it's from a set. I have an impaired 2003W (with the new obverse, though) - they look more brassy compared to their business strike counterparts and their mirror finish exaggerates the scratches and wear that is on it.

rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 02/25/2015 9:49 pm just a thought could this possibly be a counterfeit loonie . I need to find another 2003 to compare it to. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 02/25/2015 11:58 pm Its from a set, I think the old effigy loon was for sets only. Report this Post to the Staff

unruhjonny Pillar of the Community Canada 514 Posts	Posted 10/29/2015 5:05 pm I'd love to find this while roll hunting... Some people here have posted that there was a crowned '03 loonie - while others insist that the crowned loonie is from sets only. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21641 Posts	Posted 10/29/2015 6:59 pm There is a crowned business strike Loonie. The mint changed to the uncrowned version partway through 2003. All 2003 sets have the crowned version. Report this Post to the Staff
