<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thornton, post: 7848711, member: 105289&quot;]Had to become part of the &quot;destined to become a classic thread&quot; thread.&nbsp; I do see a slight difference in appearance of the OP coins but I also see a difference in the backgrounds, lighting and clarity (focus).&nbsp;&nbsp; The maple leaf being brighter, overall.&nbsp; Might I suggest posting a photo of both coins, out of the capsules, side by side in a single shot.&nbsp; As for talking about planchets, I think it would be important to consider them.&nbsp; Both planchet and die preparation will make a difference even comparing unprepared raw planchets would be hard, unless from the same source.&nbsp; So that the manufacturing process is the same.&nbsp; This should be enough to keep the prospective classic thread alive.&nbsp; For the record, I don&#039;t think you would see a difference if photographed, side by side, under the same lighting.&nbsp; JHMO.&nbsp; Discuss![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
