libertyhead Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 07/18/2008 11:06 pm I dont know much about canadian coins but I got what looks to be a proof quarter in change. The edge of the coin is solid silver instead of copper and silver like a clad quarter. It is literally a mirror and if it was bigger you could watch yourself style your hair. Can you tell me if its silver? Thanks Image: ob.jpg 61.71 KB Image: rev.jpg 64.6 KB Image: silver.jpg 65.17 KB Image: copsilv.jpg 62.42 KB Report this Post to the Staff

chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 07/19/2008 12:59 pm Are your images reversed. Why is the Queen facing to the left, and the caribou facing right? If it was a silver proof coin the effigy and caribou would be frosted, and the fields mirror like. Canadian 25 cent coins do not have the same obvious clad appearance on the edges. Yours may have been cut from 2001 uncirculated set. Here is a 2002 silver proof Edited by chrycopaul 07/19/2008 1:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
