I will ask the editor of the CN Journal, if they will give me permission to share the article here. I am a columnist in that journal (I author the...
Yes, if you are a member of the RCNA...
Redwin117, your conclusions of MONETARY value are beyond optimistic, to put it politely. Heck, given the LOW mintages of Canadian coins, and the...
There is a very nice article in the recent CN Journal (July/August issue), of one man's fight against the infux of Chinese counterfeit coins into...
I am an error collector and, in some circles, an error expert with Canadian coins. Your explanation of a double denomination coin in this thread...
Here is what that type of error is really worth, mind you, this one is NGC MS-67 grade, and sold back in 2006. I suspect it would fetch almost...
I'll see your penny on a dime, and raise you one... One is struck with the reverses of the denominations on the same side, the other is...
On eBay.ca, yes they are accepted as a TPG. As for surfaces on coins, ICCS prefers to only give a "technical grade" (in their words, whatever that...
However, I digress... I did send one to a Canadian third party grader (ICCS), and they too thought it was naturally toned. It was one with a soft,...
Something crazy and wild for the Canadian error coin fans... http://www.cointalk.com/t230220/#post1736561
Ahhh.... 1969. The summer of love.... and the year the Royal Canadian Mint left the back door open... I bought these coins this past month,...
The only way I would expect to see a "rippled" surface on any struck coin, would be a lamination peel... A coin would be noticeably thinner and...
I doubt it started out as a normal planchet, being so darn thin. Even if it started out as a split planchet prior to the strike(s), how do you...
Looks nothing like any of the lamination peels that I have in this series, including some clamshell examples. I could see this piece fitting...
Here is one for the Canadian collectors, and error collectors. I posted in the other forum, because I wanted to pick the brains of a few error...
Good eye!! I like collecting these machine doubled coins, with the doubling specifically on the date. Here is the same coin, in MS-65 Red. [ATTACH]
Nope - that 1965 is a blunt 5 type. Looks like a proof like strike.
Ok, after some study, I think I have figured this one out. First of all, it is quite a thin planchet (split planchet?), only weighing 1.17 grams....
You still have not disclosed the actual (and precise) weight of your coin. A coin struck through grease or oil or whatever, will still weigh...
Didn't get much feedback on the Error forum, maybe I need to be like stevex6, and put my Canadian error coins in this thread. It's a world coin,...
