2005-P 1c Non-Magnetic Exists. Time To Start Roll Hunting!

Makes sense that there will be some errors in the years where they ran the copper coated zinc and copper plated steel compositions...and had P and non-P dies. We in America have the 1943 copper cent and errors in the 1964-1965 timeframe where we switched from silver to cupronickel. Two compositions being minted with differing dies side-by-side is just asking for trouble...lol. We have varieties for our transition on the cent in 1982. To stop the error problem it looks like they mixed the blanks and just loaded both into presses as needed.
Probably the hoppers that transported the blanks to the presses were used for both compositions and if any did not empty completely...whammo. You now have an error coin.
I would bet dollars to doughnuts that non-P magnetic coins exist as well. I also bet anyone who redeemed their cents are kicking themselves right now. Those coins are gone for good.

Since the new ICCS pop report is out. Anyone have an updated pop # on the 2005 p non mag?

Thanks

How about this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-P-Cana...c67ff&_uhb=1

Claims to be the only known 2006P non-magnetic NBU

Looks like I found #6.

Haven't gotten the coin back from ICCS yet but I got the notification letter today.
MS67 NBU 2005P Non Magnetic.

Found it for my employer so he will likely be selling it, either through auction or ebay so keep an eye out for it ;)

Well that's good news maybe I will be able to fill this hole in the future at a reasonable price :)

A bunch of 2005P Nonmag came up on the Shopping Channel coin show tonight

MS66 is $2495
MS67 is $2995

If Bromberg has dozens of these coins, I think it's safe to say there are thousands of them out there somewhere.

This is what TCS posted:

"This is an exceptional superb gem uncirculated example of one of the rarest major Canadian error coins to be discovered in many years. In 2005, the Royal Canadian Mint used two different types of planchets for one cent coins. Magnetic copper plated steel coins were issued with a letter "P" (for plated) under the effigy of the queen, while non-magnetic copper plated zinc coins were issued without the letter "P". All magnetic issues are supposed to have the letter "P", while non-magnetic issues are not supposed to have the letter "P".

A small number of non-magnetic copper plated zinc 2005 coins recently been discovered with the "P" composition mark intended only for the magnetic steel issues. The total quantity of coins struck by mistake on the wrong planchet type is estimated to be less than 200 pieces. This is an exceptional ultra high grade example, independently third party certified as Superb Gem Uncirculated Mint State 67 by Canadian Coin Certification Service (CCCS). Regular issue magnetic "P" coins and non-magnetic no "P" coin are also included for comparison.

Five examples of this rare error coin have come up for public sale in the past year, with selling prices ranging from $4,000 to $20,000 each. The most recent auction results for this coin graded MS-67 was $5,900 in June 2014."

I added the bolding but it begs the questions. Who estimated only 200 pieces? And how did they come up with that number?

ESTIMATED is the key word
