Reminds me of this listing... I laughed hard enough, and liked it so much, that I took a screen capture... I told the seller that his coin looked...
My gut instinct tells me this thing has been cleaned/restored (e.g., removal of verdigris), and retoned using a sulphur product like Dellar's...
In the original Coin Community Forum thread, did Mike actually make that assessment from the images provided, or did he have the coin in hand, and...
There are all kinds of creative names to the various forms of strike doubling and die chips, especially from the numismatic community in Quebec,...

Hopefully, for 2014, crying wolf incidents like this will not happen. The Royal Canadian Mint is introducing additional security features to its...

What does it weigh.... that would be all I would need to know.
Oh cool!!! I never knew there were some in silver. What denomination would the coin have been?? 25-cent??
