I guess that everyone has their own version of a pipe dream. Go ahead and submit it to Louis at CCCS and all you'll get is a body bag and a $60 invoice.

I understand that these credible people will error on the side of caution to keep there reputation. I am glad that I am pretty certain that I have the rarest bimetal coin in the world and I am now pretty much an instant Quadrillionaire because that is my selling price and yes I know that is over the total world economy

No it's Robert David Clifford Wilkinson of Edson Alberta, I stand by my name, I did not modify this coin, I got it in change at Karaoke night in the bar from a bartender named Chris. I know it looks like a grinder that everyone is familiar with did it, but I would bet my whole collection on it being worn off by a conveyer belt at the mint.

@KnowBob i'll make you a deal, send it off to PCGS in Trumpland, get it in a holder calling it an error, and i'll pay the shipping, the certification, the insurance, and i'll give you $100 and a coin of at least $100 value from my personal, hard earned collection, and I mean it, i'll keep my end if PCGS deems it a genuine mint error. only a fool or someone who knows for a fact it's a bogus fake error would decline my offer. your call friend..
Feel free to call me Will.

I'll add a coin of $100 value to Dollarman's! If this comes back as an error related to the PMD that you state is a mint error. (the grind marks that are on the coin)

i believe this to be legit, in 1996 the mint tried a new process of using sandpaper instead of rubber for the conveyor belts to help with a more positive feed, and a torch to help seal the 24k center into the coin. but obviously this one got stuck at the torch section. and after the mint realized the damage this was causing they reverted back to the old minting process and rounded up all but 1 of the damaged coins. if it were me I would send it to NNC for grading for the most honest opinion on this extremely rare error. I could see this reaching ms-67

You have now blown off most the foremost Canadian numismatic error collectors who frequent this site. I am also an error collector; I have published articles on errors, I validate and describe errors for two different Canadian auction houses, so some people might even consider me somewhat of an expert on the topic of errors and understanding the physics of metals and coin presses (by day, I am a research scientist). I did not even bother to answer in this thread, because pretty much every other error collector I know and respect, already gave you the correct answer (that you refuse to accept). Just because you haven't seen enough of these fabricated coins to recognize them on sight doesn't mean we haven't. There's nothing left to be accomplished here. I am locking this thread for your protection because the only way for this to go is down. You won't believe the best, so there's no use in anyone else trying.  Oh yeah, if you want to see what real, and very expensive, Canadian bimetallic errors look like, check out this PCGS showcase: http://www.PCGS.com/setregistry/sho...aspx?sc=1948
