Hello, I just got a Canadian 1961, 1 cent out of the free penny tray that looks like a proof

Could this be a proof or a mint set coin? I got it free at the gas station from the free penny tray.


Sorry images are not too good, the fields are like a mirror.


Your thoughts, and thank you, daryl

nice find! looks XF-AU, lots of lustre, not a proof, I dont think, but could indeed be from a mint set, but who knows. definately keeper, though quite a common date.

Yes thank you. I have been very lucky the last 30 days. Even found some silver.

Nice find indeed! Am always jealous of people who can find silver in circulation. Should probably go to Switzerland some time, I've instructed a friend who lives there to set aside and send me old Swiss coins he finds in circulation.

I sometimes find coins in circulation like this one that have mirror-like fields that I wonder if they are proofs or not too, see this thread here: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic65892.html

I think with the hot last two mouths . The kids have been getting in the mom and dads coins. I have gotten a silver quarter, 5 silver dimes and a whole lot of nice stuff.

It wont let me edit. But for ice cream.

Yeah, I think something is up with the edit. I can't do it either (or quote for that matter).

ditto. I hope it wasn't something I said...

We can't quote or start new threads either, so I think it's just a temporary bug.

Trust me, I tried to start a thread to report it.

Well my luck keeps coming. When I went to wash work stuff. In change a got a 2013 great basin frosted parks quarter. From S.

wow, that's nice!
