1965 Canadian dollar

I received one yesterday that I purchased from daggit (Thank you :ninja: ), for my crown collection. When defining the set I would collect for myself, I made it a point to leave out any Proof or PL pieces. This one however, puzzles me. It sure looks as though it is a PL piece, but when I checked my Krause (not infallible I know) there is no PL listed for that year- 1965. Is this just a KM oversight or were all pieces made like this and just listed as starting from the MS scale?

There were both MS and PL strikes in those years.

 

To make things more confusing, some PL sets contain MS coins, or coins struck with mis-matched dies. There were also some PL dies which ended up being used for circulation coinage.

 

But for the most part, most coins will be MS.

Thanks for the reply!

 

I am still not sure what I have then. I took a couple of quick shots of the two coins in question. They're probably not the best, but I am hoping they might give a clue as to what they are: unc or P/L.
