Where are the W and P mintmarks located, please ?
I've tried unsuccessfully to find a picture of such coins.

The W can be found to the lower left or right of the bust.
There is no P mintmark

Quite amusing how that ebay seller describes the RCM packaging of that coin!

Yes! But I side with the seller - the coin originally was inside a capsule, inside a leather-ish clam box, inside a presentation box that came inside a white protective box.
The seller is offering the coin, not the circus.
Just to provoke the ire of many: I think all those boxes and packages are just junk. I throw them away without a second thought - I don't think they are part of a coin collection. Many collectors consider NCLT not to be real coins, boxes? Even worse.

To the best of my knowledge, for CIRCULATION, there were 25,274,000 2006 uncrowned single lower date toonies minted; 2,502,500 of the lower 1996-2006 double dated uncrowned 10th anniversary coins with the old ML mint mark; 2,502,500 of the upper 1996-2006 double dated uncrowned "Churchill" coins with the new RCM mint mark. All were minted in 2066 PLUS in 2007, 5,040,000 uncrowned single upper date toonies with the new RCM mint mark were minted. Everything I have read from other people indicates that the lower dated 1996-2006 uncrowned old ML mint mark coins are only in sets, but as my post above indicates, the mint replied to me that in fact, there are such coins in circulation. Unless sets are considered circulation, I will keep looking. |

Thank you. I downloaded all of the Royal Canadian Mint ( RCM) Annual Reports from their website (going back to 1999) and then searched through Government of Canada archives (as much as I could given the changes over the years in who the Mint reported to), and took the information in the Appendices to create a spreadsheet of what, how much, and when, etc... The information in the reports has numbers minted, years minted (which might not be the same as the numbers minted since they minted some coins early in one year, all of the yean on the coin, and then a few of them the next year in a few cases). It also shows the breakdown of circulation coin types minted. A good resource. I then check the coin guides for other details. |

@TwoDollarTwoKnee: I agree with the numbers given of the 2006 lower and upper single date Toonies. I deduced the same from the RCM reports. However, I disagree with the figures for the double date Toonies. In my opinion, the RCM means in its 2006 report with ''Two Dollar 10th Anniversary'' the upper double date Toonie (bear with aurora borealis) ONLY. 5.005.000 were minted. My world coin cataloge (no, not KM) also states that the 2006 lower double date Toonie was only released in sets (and not for general circulation). I do not know how much of those lower double date Toonies were minted. But the figure is certainly way below the 1.000.000 mark. |

Reading through this thread I noticed ICCS does not certify the German planchet. Do any of the others still certify them as I have some I would like to have graded?
