john100, you had better be patient - what part of this person needing 50 posts was not clear enough?

Nice. I assume you got this from an unopened mint roll in clear plastic?
That fact alone makes me believe it is genuine. Really unique.

It might be on a foreign planchet . Can you see if it is magnetic - just see if a magnet sticks to it .

Without the coin in hand, it is difficult to tell... when you have reached 50 posts, revive this thread, and I can have the coin tested for you. A number of members here, and the moderators, can vouch for me. Just try some searches with "XRF" using the CCF search engines...

I would personally mail any coin I have in my collection to be analyzed without worry to SPP.

Very nice coin, I have a missing plating loonie that looks a lot like this, but a bit duller. It could indeed be missing plating.
I would certainly trust SPP... I may be new to this forum, but I have known him by rep for almost a decade from other places.
Speaking of which SPP could you please email me, my mail is in my profile. I have a few coins I would love to send to you for XRF analysis.
Thanks!
Fenian

Wow... you have been busy... and Fenian - if you answered your emails (my latest on that error cent), you would have my email address  (email sent)...

The weight of the coin is around 6.35 gram.. Don't know if that's good normal one with parks canada was 6.94 gram The weight of plating on a loonie (pre-2012) is 0.6 grams, so a missing-plating error would seem most likely to me. Great find! |
