YesOrNo Valued Member Canada 367 Posts	Posted 08/08/2017 7:05 pm I was checking this coin I bought several months ago. While reading its certificate, I was puzzled by this sentence: "...the viened leaf's near-white lower surface (left) and its light green upper surface (foreground)." There are three possibilities: 1. I don't know how to read. 2. I'm colorblind. 3. RCM made a mistake If this is a RCM error, what's the impact on the value of this coin? About this coin: 1/25 oz.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 08/08/2017 7:28 pm 4. You are misreading the certificate. The leaf of the silver maple is green on one side and silver on the other, and the veins in the green side of the leaf show a greater detail than the silver side. The design of the coin, and difference of detail between these two leaves, reflects this contrast - the coin in the foreground has a much higher level of detail... There is no error in this certificate.

YesOrNo Valued Member Canada 367 Posts	Posted 08/08/2017 7:34 pm Thank you for the explanation. That makes sense. I guess I got excited too easily. Nevertheless, I am attaching a clearer picture of this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 08/08/2017 8:14 pm Now it looks great. One of these affordable and good designed gold coins. On previous picture it looks like BU, but here you have clear visibility of the more detailed leaf with 'proof' finish, and the other one with BU (or proof-like) and they represent different sides of the leaf. Enjoy it! Report this Post to the Staff
