    Thanks Phil. That's one awesome coin. Any idea how it got toned like that? It looks like cased dollar toning with the foam but these weren't issued like that.

    You're right. These were in plastic capsules. Who knows, but I suspect it was just placed in the 1971-1973 packaging.

    Great coin @PhilArnold ! There are some amazingly toned Canadian coins out there.

    I wouldn't define these as amazing but they are fun and were cheap.

    That was my thinking also. Someone placed it in a 1972 clam shell.

    Here's a 1971 dollar I reimaged this past week before sending it off to PCGS.
