Well, so far, only 1 coin with those marks came from the mint, the rest from canada post. Just to begin, that would set the price to at least 25$. The regular coin sells for 30-35$, so I'd be tempted to say at least that. If I didn't have the coin, I'd probably be willing to pay at least 40-45$, but ultimately, it'll be a matter of how many are available and how many people want one.

I'm now at 16/147, or 12.2%. I'm still missing info from cownick to know if his coin has the marks on 1 or 2 sides and where it comes from. So far, there's not a clear trend in source, about half come from the mint (either bought at the store or online) and the rest bought in post offices. There's also 2 where the source isn't known.

Thanks, that's a nice sample :)
Brings me to 16/159 or 11.1%.
I learned an interesting tid-bit about the mint today. I spoke with a guy I know who works there in the machines (the joy of living in Ottawa), he says there's many new guys on training at the mint and they make a lot of mistakes, he's not so surprised that die clash went through. I guess we'd never get such a statement officially from the mint, but anyway, that explains a lot, doesn't it? As long as they'll be letting die clashes through, I won't complain :)

Oh wow that's embarrassing, 16/159 is indeed 10.06%. I had put a formula in excel and put the wrong cell in the formula, but it's corrected now. Thanks cownick, I now have 7/16 from mint, 8/16 from Canada post, 6/16 only one side, 8/16 on two sides, with a few unknown still.
