CaptMondo New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 07/25/2017 12:11 pm I picked up a roll of toonies the other day and was happy to find that it was a new roll consisting solely of coloured and un-coloured $2 2017 coins. I noticed that several of the coloured version had their coloured printed slightly offset, either up or to the right on the examples I had. Here are a couple of pics showing the more extreme examples I found in my small sample (red arrow overlaid to make things more clear): Coloured printing offset to the right Coloured printing offset to the top Not sure if printing differences constitute an "error" or even a "variety", but am just pointing it out so that others know what to look for in their pocket change.

CaptMondo New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 07/27/2017 08:21 am Very cool! The one on the right seems to be the most offset. I wonder what the Mint's accepted tolerances are for their coloured coin printing process, and what would be considered a genuine variety in this case. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for these. Report this Post to the Staff

Just because a coin doesn't interest you doesn't mean it's "junk". Report this Post to the Staff
