SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 11/30/2015 11:19 am I bought this PL dollar a while ago, and looking at the album the other day it stood out among the other PL strikes with a frosty island, canoe, voyageur and native. The mirror field morphs into this frosty central area of the reverse. The obverse is a cameo IMO. A bit of obverse chatter distracts from an otherwise nice coin. Grade please and any comments welcome. Report this Post to the Staff

Typical on PL dollars from 1958 to 1963. The mark in the fields behind the Queen's hair jumps out far more to me. ICCS would grade it as PL-64, probably because of the mark in the obverse field. PCGS might penalize the weak strike, and grade it PL-63 (since it is detrimental to eye-appeal).
