    I have a Canadian 10 cent piece, dated 2008.
    One side is pressed, showing the "tails" side, which depicts the Bluenose
    The other side, which should have the head of Queen Elizabeth, is completely blank.
    Also, the outer ridge of the coin is sharp, and there is no edge detail

    The coin is currently shiny and like brand new. There are no fingerprints or dirt on the coin.

    Any thoughts on value?

    Thank you

    Could you post a pic ? It would hold value yes "to error collectors", but as for how much that is for the economic laws to decide. Did you find it in change ?

    Photos of Canadian Dime - One side stamped

    Here are the photos of the dime I was asking about

    Sorry about the blurry image, but I've never tried photographing coins before.

    Hope this helps, as I would love to know what this could be worth.

    THanks very much

    The minting looks pretty authentic to be a plug.

    There really is no way this could happen during modern minting practices

    Remember 1st explaine that it could have happened, then how it happened, then what it is - the modern coining presses will not even operate until both obv. and rev. die are looked in placed.

    Does anyone think it could be a brockage?

    I was just thinking a brockage or a full indent myself
