nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 09/19/2013 4:21 pm There is no doubt the coin we speak of is a PL. Having seen the coin, knowing where it is situated.......It came from Ottawa via a situation similar to other (shall we say) quiet means. BACK DOOR!! Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 09/19/2013 7:31 pm The dollar came from a front office in the mint. It was a known test. This one was not so I am told. Report this Post to the Staff
t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 09/19/2013 7:37 pm No different coins. The one I thought of is a loon. By the way, just to make this thread a candidate to locking, there are 2 radically different stories being told about the coin you mentioned. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 09/19/2013 9:44 pm By the way the seller hasn't messaged me back, not yet anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
1PPCLI Valued Member Canada 61 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 01:34 am Is it possible to take two coins of the same year and cut them and then fit the two Reserve sides together? Maybe someday a coin will come out with both observes? I don't think its real, too many checks and balances in the mint to make this kind of error! Hope someone goes to jail if its fake! crazy world we live in Report this Post to the Staff

jkol2369 Pillar of the Community Canada 607 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 11:59 am maybe the person who was selling it saw this thread.. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 1:05 pm I think Louis was selling the coin on behalf of a client - trust me, if it was to sell, they would not follow through with ebay's system and lose a good chunk of cash...

dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 3:57 pm The main issue I have is that the excitement shown begets more manufactured rarities. People are telegraphing to mint employees to be creative and sneak out stuff because there is a big market for these "errors". The nature of these doesn't allow for many to be produced. The rarity is due to the illegality, not because one snuck out accidentally and most were destroyed (which is the only way a genuine mule could be rare). The mint should consider publishing an official errors report. With this the actual mistakes that might show up would be known, and the rest would then be seen what they are: A fraud.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9871 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 11:52 am The buyer of this coin more than likely knows it's not a legitimate error.A large portion of coin collectors are collectors of rarity,not coins.They don't care what the origin of the coin is,and are willing to pay a hefty price for a unique item.The TPG and the seller are both aware of the back-door origin of the coin,but there is a demand and money to be made. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
