Well then this is not Canadian but it may be up your alley...There is a dealer from NJ that always sets up at the Baltimore shows. He was a MD now a coin dealer in ancients he always has some nice items up for sale.

 

Hi SPP-O ... dats a purdy coin!!

Hey, I offered Zonad $2000 for his one cent error coin and he still said "thanks for the nice offer, but I must decline" .... *sigh* ... man, I love that coin!!

 

A gift from my Grandpa a few years ago.

@Paddy I'm a mostly a US/Ancient collector, preferring Roman Republican, Carthaginian, Punic and Non-Classical Civilizations.... So the coin you posted is right up my alley

But so is your avatar

 

Nice find! Let us know what it fetches!

 

Have you seen the ones that Canadian Coins & Currency are selling?? They purchased, and certified (NGC) most of the Robert Krill collection. Click on this link: http://www.cdncoin.com/category-s/2202.htm and do a search by price (highest first)... on page 2, there are a ton of Victorian cent brockages and off-centre strikes - but, as to be expected with Steve Bromberg, the prices are about 3 times market value.

 

Yes, I will be there. I don't collect Canadian 5-cent errors, so expect to see that beauty in the showcase...

 

OK Petro89. Thanks for the encouragement. Right now all I can do is laugh though.:yes:
Reason being, I gotta laugh to keep from crying. Seems there's 1 day and 20 hrs. to go in the auction and the 1922 Cent is in a hold pattern @ 1 bid for 99 cents. Ha! Wow. Well, time will tell.

 

SPP-O => thanks for the link ... wow, there are some crazy-nice error coins out there, eh?

I love the 25 cent 1992 New Brunswick on 1 cent planchet (very cool)

 

If you like error coins, you may want to keep track of the monthly auctions from Len's / Jim's coins in Madison Wisconsin:

They sometimes have Canada & other world error coins listed at the end of the catalog.

 

Collect89 => thanks for the heads-up and the link!!

Only starting my Canadian collection. Bought this one last week in Montreal. Bought some others and will post once I have some pics. I find the good coins very pricy.

 

1999 Canadian Quarter Die Breaks & Die Cracks & Die Chips & Cud & Double Motts

This coin is for the month of October 1999

 

Have I mentioned that Zonad's off center strike 1858 is absolutely filthy??

 

=> I know!!

... I would give my left nut for that baby!!

 

I also got some 1 cent coins. I got a nice MS 63 RED 1942, a "deep" clipped 1964 and this clipped 1966. Not much documented varieties on the 1966 that I could find.
