AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 04/24/2016 10:15 pm While on my trip to the U of C I needed change and asked the people at the desk to change a $5.... Got this one in the handful and it really stuck out for me... Full cartwheel luster and it looks like mirrored devices on a frosted fields. Is this SP or PL?

Yours looks more like this one, IMO. 272091209481 here's a proof Edited by Alexer 04/25/2016 01:50 am Report this Post to the Staff

The parallel lined background can be seen on the Loon Dollar as well as other denominations of uncirculated business strikes of this vintage. Report this Post to the Staff
AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 04/25/2016 08:42 am Thanks guys It was the parallel lines that made me think a spec strike.... And I'm not really good at always telling the difference between the strikes. I certainly thought it was cool to see such an old coin with so little wear Report this Post to the Staff
wandering Valued Member Canada 161 Posts	Posted 04/26/2016 6:17 pm The parallel lines are normal for 1987 $1 coin. I had mint roll of 1987 $1 coins and all like this. Report this Post to the Staff
