I bought this piece from an incredibly knowledgeable young collector and am very happy with it. It came with the original case. PCGS called it MS67, and I fully agree..the way the toning dances over these deeply lustrous surfaces is just incredible. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** Feel free to call me Will.

Lovely toning has somewhat obscured the design detail in the pictures.
This is a classic case where the coin held in hand would appear to be very much more attractive.

Pic attached below... According to Charlton there is an actual case known that was issued with a medal and a 1939 specimen dollar as a pair..any chance you've ever seen such a case? I'd love to find one..  Feel free to call me Will.

I am pretty sure that either Sandy Campbell or
the late Chuck Moore had a fitted case with the Specimen Dollar
And the silver medallion .
In the past have owned two Specimen Dollars in a case by themselves.
Nice example of the little cardboard holder !
Sure shows you how cheap silver was back then !

It seems that there was chlorine in the original cardboard holder. That would explain the beautiful rainbow toning that you now see.

Interesting..must be Chuck Moore because I had recently brought it up to Sandy and to my surprise he said he's never seen one. I'd love to come across an example one day..must be super rare. The young collector I bought this from also had a 1939 dollar specially engraved on the day the royals were on London Ontario..there is so much cool stuff out there for 1939. I'm really interested in hearing more about the 1939 dollars in their own individual cases Jack! Any chance you have pictures or a recollection of what the cases looked like?

No pictures was a long time ago .
The two I had were purchased from a coin dealer
At Coinex 1985 in London England .
He purchased them in Madrid Spain at a coin fair there .
Best I recollect , Red leather covered boxes
with a crest of Canada , blue plush interior .
