Canada pattern help

I have a friend who, through me, submitted a 1952 Canada Five Cent thinking it was a pattern. As the Charlton book says, it is not the traditional blue color as found on the business strikes. The pattern is so rare I cannot find any available photo of this date/type. I tried Heritage to no avail. Can somebody out there steer me in the right direction to obtain pics ? I need these to prove to my friend what a pattern should look like.....THX in advance of any help.

    I think you are going to need something more than color to go on since toning ( AT or otherwise) will give you lots of different colors.
    Re. The 1951 with high & low relief and the position of the "A" in GRATIA and where it points.

    BTW some coin strips were plated with nickel only while others got nickel & chrome. One is gray while the other is blue- white.
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    Got quoins?
