wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 09:57 am It sure has great eye appeal! I'd doubt the toning is natural except for having recently bought a 1967 "Bank of Montreal" set at an auction, nobody else was bidding, lovely toned coins. They were in a blue flocked case with upper silk liner and the 1c has that same unusual bluish irridenecant sheen around the upper area of the rim. So if this one was stored in an old jewelry case or something similar for a few decades longer, yeah I could see it happening. Report this Post to the Staff

No. These were made by the RCM in Ottawa, I imagine that 70 years of technology since the 1850s had advanced significantly... There are brass 1937 strikes - but those were pattern pieces made by the Paris Mint.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 2:43 pm Absolutely gorgeous coin! I'm only an accidental cent collector but would love to have one like this. As SPP-Ottawa said this coin is all about eye appeal. I wonder what price it would have fetched as ICCS MS63BN or if it had appeared as a raw coin. Would the same bidders have been on the lookout for such a beauty regardless? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 03/21/2016 02:25 am I watched this one to the bitter end, but I decided not to bid on it... it was not the toning that caught my eye, it was the surfaces absolutely free of carbon spots and deteriorating marks that plague the 1920-1936 issues...
