The coin is very bright (it looks brassy) of Queen Elizabeth the second, with fields looking hammered on the obverse and reverse. The Queen has a large crown and wearing a pearl necklace, and is a hansome design. Please take a look and let me know your thoughts and as always regards! Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 05/14/2023 4:04 pm It's a plating issue. These have been discussed more than once on here. Search the archives. It's copper plated zinc and just a poor plating job by the mint. Over 1 billion minted. Report this Post to the Staff
