wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 02/06/2016 9:19 pm Is this a proof coin? If so, did the cashier notice it was a rather bright and shiny, aside from obvious battle scars as a result of its stint amongst circulation coin? Unfortunately it's not unheard of for rebellious children to spend the family coin collection. Report this Post to the Staff
SuperGyr New Member Canada 47 Posts	Posted 02/06/2016 10:14 pm It is a proof coin, and no the cashier did not notice. I received it while buying groceries from Safeway. Too bad it has scratches. Report this Post to the Staff
wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 02/06/2016 10:40 pm That's really cool, if the cashier didn't notice then probably it passed through the hands of many people who didn't notice either. Something of a novelty item if you keep it.....where this one might have began its adventure in the outside world, if only coins could tell their story it'd probably be very interesting.
