As far as I can see, though, they have none of the &quot;cartwheel&quot; luster common to American business strikes -- they appear to have mirrored surfaces like American proofs. Is this normal for Canadian coinage (early 1960s)? There were also a few older, well-circulated quarters -- one from the 1930&#039;s, and one or two from the 1940&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the toning fans, here are two of the older dimes:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]108669.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]108670.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]108671.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Alas, I&#039;ve lost the color profile I used to use for converting RAW images from my camera before exporting them as JPEGs, so these look a lot duller than they did in the original photos, which in turn look duller than the actual coins.
