After photographing the batch for Dimitri, buying a pair from Doogy, and a couple on eBay, I'm really digging these 1970s Canadian dollars.
There must be something about the surface of these coins that makes them susceptible to crazy toning. The "splatter" and/or woodgrain toning effects can be incredible.
I just picked this one up:
The great thing about these is that they are relatively cheap. Raw ones are usually $5-10. Slabs come in at $15-50 depending on the grade and toning patterns.
If anyone has any for sale or trade, I'm interested.
Thanks!
