    Rare is a word I don't use often, except when I am ordering a steak.

    This is a Canadian nickel dollar struck on a 7.1 gram nickel 50-cent planchet.

    This is one very tough error to find. I only know of one other (dated 1976). I suspect more must exist, but they are well squirrelled away...

    I was especially pleased when I bought this example. While considerably thinner than a nickel dollar, it is well struck. The grade is pretty darned good, and it will be heading to PCGS shortly. 1d_1981_error_rev.jpg 1d_1981_error_obv.jpg 1d_1981_error_edge.jpg 1d_1981_error_rev_50c.jpg

    That is a cool find!

    Since it is classified as an error (rather than a variety) there is no way of knowing how many of other dates exist since the major grading services don't separate errors from normal coins in their census figures.

    Here is another one, just picked it up at the Moore Legacy auction. A 1980 nickel dollar struck on a Canadian (nickel) 25-cent planchet. First (and only) one I have ever seen.
