<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 1063763, member: 16269&quot;]Actually, it is a mule. A friend of mine discovered it and after a lot of controversy it was determined to be an obverse of a 2010 specimen and a reverse of a 2009 specimen. There are only about 300 mules from the 15,000 sets. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the Canadian Coin News:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.canadiancoinnews.ca/article.html#features" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.canadiancoinnews.ca/article.html#features" rel="nofollow">http://www.canadiancoinnews.ca/article.html#features</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Eating a bit of crow</b></p><p>&nbsp; As reported elsewhere in this issue, the Royal Canadian Mint has come&nbsp; clean on the 2010 young lynx Specimen set mule, and it turns out that I&nbsp; was wrong.</p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;ve never believed that being wrong always represents an opportunity for personal growth. Sometimes you&#039;re just plain wrong.</p><p>&nbsp; In this case, we&#039;ve done what I think is the right thing: admit our mistake, set the record straight, and move forward.</p><p>&nbsp; There is a lesson to be learned here, however.</p><p>&nbsp; We originally ran this story months ago, then as new information&nbsp; became available, we did a second, and now a third article. As the&nbsp; author of each article, I used the best information I could get, and&nbsp; relied on expert sources. Eventually, what we got was exactly what we&nbsp; wanted, a clear description of what went wrong and how. That makes us&nbsp; all winners.</p><p>&nbsp; In this case, none of the updated information has altered the number&nbsp; or value of the error coins. It was always a mule. The confusion was in&nbsp; the origin of the 2009 die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
