<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 7924812, member: 13307&quot;]Evening all...</p><p><br /></p><p>I was moving boxes of 2x2 coins from one spot to another and had a lovely moment when one box decided to slip out of my grasp - meaning every coin in that box got tossed out onto the floor and I received the exciting opportunity to go back through it and put all the coins in order again.&nbsp; Hooray!&nbsp; Lesson learned.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, as I was sorting, I came across my stash of 1991 Canadian quarters and decided I wanted to get some more information on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve noticed that there are three distinct finishes to these coins: BU, PL, and Proof.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When I look through my Krause, I get the following information:</p><p><br /></p><p>1991 BU - mintage 459,000 (Prices: MS60/$6.00 MS63/$12.00 MS65/$65.00)</p><p>1991 Proof - mintage 131,888 (Price: PF65/$20.00)</p><p>There is no listing for a Prooflike issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I look at my Charlton catalogue, I get the following information:</p><p><br /></p><p>1991 - mintage 459,000 (no separation of mintage figures by finish)</p><p>There are prices listed for MS, SP, and PR, but no mintage figures.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see online that a Specimen set like <a href="https://www.coinsunlimited.ca/royal-canadian-mint-coins-sets-singles/canadian-mint-specimen-silver-coin-sets/1991-Canadian-Specimen-Set" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinsunlimited.ca/royal-canadian-mint-coins-sets-singles/canadian-mint-specimen-silver-coin-sets/1991-Canadian-Specimen-Set" rel="nofollow">this one</a> was issued with 68,552 sets sold, and from the same seller a Proof Double Dollar set like <a href="https://www.coinsunlimited.ca/royal-canadian-mint-coins-sets-singles/canadian-mint-double-dollar-specimen-proof-silver-coin-sets/1991-Canadian-Proof-Double-Dollar-Set" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinsunlimited.ca/royal-canadian-mint-coins-sets-singles/canadian-mint-double-dollar-specimen-proof-silver-coin-sets/1991-Canadian-Proof-Double-Dollar-Set" rel="nofollow">this one</a> was issued with 131,888 sets sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which made me pull out my Charlton Collector Coins issue and check the back, where I see the same two mintage figures for the Specimen and Proof sets, respectively.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Should I then go forward with the information that for 1991 Canadian quarters there were 459,000 Business Strike (MS) coins struck, 68,552 Specimen (SP), and 131,888 Proof (PF or PR) struck?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, I just want to label them correctly and I found most places like Numista don&#039;t mention the SP finish (in fact, <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces351.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces351.html" rel="nofollow">Numista</a> has Proof-like with a mintage of 131,888 pcs. and no mention of Proofs, but with a delineation between narrow and wide reverse rim denticles - which I&#039;ve never heard of until today.)&nbsp; Coins &amp; Canada doesn&#039;t list mintages in their price guide with the individual coins.&nbsp; Maybe it&#039;s listed on their site somewhere else?</p><p><br /></p><p>In case anyone was going to ask, I have 22 MS, 5 SP, and 1 PF.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Also, if anyone has more experience with the varieties listed on Numista&#039;s page, and would like to share, I would appreciate that.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
