Nice. I will have to dig mine out and have a look at them. I like the older Canadians.
I'll guess EF-45
We've been hearing that rumor for decades now.
So, I have a similar issue. I have quite a few coins from mint sets 2005 to 2010. As you know, they have a Satin Finish. This, technically, makes...
