[QUOTE="TheCoinGeezer, post: 1389285, member: 34700"]If you are referring to the 1967 Canada Centennial set, there were no proofs struck. 3 versions were produced: Circulation strikes Proof-like for inclusion in sets Specimen for inclusion in the gold set. It is extremely difficult to distinguish the specimen strikes from the proof-like strikes, as both have mirror fields and frosted devices. The specimen strike will be a little bolder, whereas the proof-like strike shows some weakness on the high points of the obverse and reverse.[/QUOTE]
