1987 25 cents BU (MS-63) - CHOICE

1987 Canada: 25 Cents Caribou

BU (Brilliant Out of Circulation) Quality — Grade: MS-63 CHOICE

Description of the room

This 1987 25-cent coin is a Choice BU ( Brilliant Uncirculated) example, representing one of the last years in which pure nickel was used before the widespread introduction of plated steel. The MS-63 grade indicates a coin that has never circulated, retaining superior visual appeal thanks to a uniform luster and a limited number of contact marks for an issue of that decade.

The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)

The obverse features the second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin. In Choice quality, the portrait displays very sharp details and the surrounding fields have an attractive satin sheen, typical of strikes from the late 1980s.

The Reverse

The iconic Caribou design by Emanuel Hahn. The striking on this nickel blank is vigorous, accurately rendering the antlers and coat textures. The date "1987" is perfectly engraved and crisp beneath the animal's chest.
