My reasoning for this coin is rather simple. First of all look at the first pic posted of the obverse. See the remaining black crud embedded in...
Since loonies are about 26mm and silver dollars are about 38mm - I rather doubt you would find them mixed in rolls with each other.
Based on the seller, the slab and those pics - I sure wouldn't risk it.

I guess they think that way because throughout recorded history, every single time a coin was made that its face value equaled its intrinsic value...

Krause list value for G as $12 - F as $30.
