The level of erosion on the obverse fields near the rim is impressive, as is the erosion as "shadows" from the rim-ward edge of the obverse legend. I suspect this is why a few years later, the Royal Canadian Mint started to chromium plate their production dies. Seeing this in hand is pretty cool. I found a couple more in lower grades. I think this date should be an easier one to hunt down a mint state version of this die state...
