I very much appreciate your response. As I mentioned in my rather lengthy post I just made, without the OP's coin or the die that created it in...

Thank you for the link, I reviewed it with keen interest; much appreciated! From www.coinsandcanada.com you can access 2 pages (actually 3, but...
My Reply regarding "is/is not" the coin a Proof, was to the post by NLL "What makes you think it’s a proof?". While my response to Mr. Diamonds...
Thanks much. I always feel that it's hard to be definitive about luster from an ordinary photo, however I certainly see your points here; "The...
While there doesn't appear to be a great difference in Proof and PL Canadian nickels, instead of trying to determine the category by photos, maybe...

That's a Proof and that's from a Doubled Die! (IMHO that is). Heavier on "Elizabeth" then appears to lessen. Will have to go back to the books to...
First my apologies to the OP. I had intended to add to, "If you are looking for a windfall," or even trying to learn something new. In addition,...

I especially like FOGs; nothing like keeping your nose to the ground! Quite some time ago I was in a carpool that would meet at a State Park&Ride...
While I probably wouldn't have used that exact wording, there is a point to be made. If you are looking for a windfall, then you really have to...
I'm jealous; your find?
Another observation in your favor would be, how could you have MD around the entire perimeter, but not have a single apparent hit anywhere on the...
You know that was my first thought (especially since the light source appears to be directly face on) as I have gotten a similar effect when I...
Proof? No clue. DDD on Reverse? Guess so. MD on the Obverse? Well they say, "never say never", but that certainly doesn't look like any MD I've...
