Need help with some 1953 Canadian coins


Blackhawk

Recommended Posts

I got these in a Canadian lot at an auction. All have the same toning and appear to have reflective fields under the toning. Do you think that they could be part of a PL or specimen set?

 

Here are photos of the coins. The toning makes them hard to photograph...very hard to show detail.

My first impression is no. But it's hard to say since the toning obsecures everything.

 

Most likely it's a put-together set.

 

Of note, some PL and MS dies were mixed, so there are coins with MS/PL die pairings, PL dies in MS runs, and MS coins in PL sets.

 

It doesn't help that the US TPGs (especially NGC*) are really bad at seperating the two (not that ICCS is perfect either)

 

*The main problem is that American and Canadian numismatists have different definitions of "PL"
