wireman09 Pillar of the Community Canada 972 Posts	Posted 04/17/2015 6:12 pm Congrats SPP...Chance of a lifetime especially when a collector gets to be the one to XRF it. The rim looks fragile with it being soft and struck in lead. Amazing piece. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 04/18/2015 02:01 am Other than the obvious million-lifetimes experience, which is awesome beyond words, do you have any information on previous testing? It looks to me like two or three harsher methods were used in the past, judging by my observation that material was filed off of the reverse rim to obtain samples. I can only think that those marks were from previous testing. Why else would you do that to a one-only coin? I can just imagine the TPG grade... SP67 Details - Filed Rim.

The lead striking was discovered shortly thereafter on November 20, 1977. It was sent to the Department of Finance in Ottawa for examination and had remained there in a brown paper parcel in the East Block of the Parliament Buildings for more than 65 years" http://www.diverseequities.com/index.php?item=2 Congrats SPP!
