Did Canada produce a loonie dollar in 1996 that has a reverse proof finish (the devices shiny PL with the fields being frosted or satin finished)? If so, can someone provide a link to one on the internet? Thanks

I checked my Charlton. Proof-Like and Specimen sets of 1996 contained coins with a "linen finish". Many also refer to this as "reverse proof". It consists of mirror-finish devices on a backround of fine vertical lines. Not a good pic, but this looks like an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/1996-Canada-LOONIE-ONE...VQQcmdZViewItem
