And, before you go off, spouting that it is a five-figure error and unique ("Lucky Leaf Hair Penny", "Pennache", etc...) - you should know that all errors are basically unique. Value for any given error is determined on the wow factor. A one cent struck on a Twoonie core is much harder to find, and much more valuable than a double flip struck coin.
I do know something about prices on Canadian flip strike coins... The ones below are all in my collection. The George VI examples are worth about $500 to $600 dollars, the 1962 is gorgeous mint state red, and possibly worth up to $1200, the 1970 example is worth about $750 (graded PCGS MS-64 RB).




I have not bothered to take photos of my double struck, flip strike 1-cent coins from 1974, 1977, 1978, 1979... it is simply a much more common error in the 1970s, than previous decades.
