o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 02/14/2014 12:18 am I think I figured this one out. The planchet is likely for a 2000 Ecuador One Centavo. I also noticed that it sold recently for about $4300 USD / $4700 CDN. It looks like the market for Canadian error coins is quite healthy at the moment. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 02/14/2014 01:28 am Its a little heavy for a penny and a little light for a centavo, apparently the centavo is made of brass and this coin appears to be copper... http://www.coinscan.com/for/ecu.html Report this Post to the Staff
o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 02/14/2014 01:55 am You're right, I mixed up brass and bronze. The Wikipedia page indicates some were issued in a copper colour: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecuado...entavo_coins I assumed the difference in weight may have been due to a small amount of the coin being sheared off when it was struck. Are there any possibilities which are more plausible? Edited by o-train 02/14/2014 02:10 am Report this Post to the Staff

o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 02/14/2014 02:40 am I'm new to coins and admittedly don't know much about the coining process compared with most. A 2000 Barbados One Cent weighs 2.5g and is 19mm (copper plated zinc). I found a 2006 searching pennies today and it weighed 2.49g. I couldn't find a foreign coin minted by the RCM in 2000 that matches up. Edited by o-train 02/14/2014 03:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
