Looking For A 2006-P Non Magnetic Cent

Trends would rather invent an imaginary price than use E-Bay realized prices. Pathetic!

I have one of those too bibd & it looks at least as good as your's

It would seem to me that if these are non magnetic because they were struck on American Non-mag planchets, there then would be a bunch of these somewhere. If there were only a hand full of blanks in the hopper by accident, the odds of finding them out of a relatively low mintage of 800 million would be near impossible, let alone a bunch of mintstate ones. my prediction is that big bucks will be paid for the guys who want them, and when supply exceeds demand the price will establish properly.
We saw the same thing with a recent $10 note of a very low printed prefix. Then someone came out with a serial number 40,000 higher than the known range, quickly making it become a $200 note instead of $3000.
Maybe those of you with at least one non-mag should not throw big bucks into more.
People loosing money is not good for the hobby, turns them off.
just a thought.

numismateer: You may already know this, but non-magnetic 2006 Canadian cents are dime-a-dozen. The RCM orders truckloads of American-style Copper-Zinc blanks.

What makes this one rare is that it's marked with a "P", which means it *should* be magnetic. So this is a mint error.

Absolutely... what happened is that the hopper had a few stray non-mags in it when the "P" run began. Likewise, there were a few (more) mags when the "no P" run began. I am convinced the mintage for both is reasonably low, and the mintage for the former is exceptionally low (<1000 for sure).

Here's a relevant question: does anyone remember 2005 cents? The "P" mintage was much lower than the "no P" mintage. Did the "no P" run conclude the year 2005? If so, our 2006 P non-magnetics may have been among the very first struck with the 2006 date. I wonder about this because the first mint sets for 2006 came out with a "P".

More generally, I wonder if anyone has looked for composition varieites pre-2006. Are there magnetic no P, or non-magnetic P floating around, yet to be discovered? There's no good reason 2006 is the only year it happened!

I've taken a magnet to a few "suspicious-looking" 2004 and 2005 cents, but they never defy their mint labelling. I'd bet dollars to donuts that they messed up at least one strike in any of 2001-2005.

By the way, does anyone want to give me $2K for my 2006 American cent? Hello? echo... ?

does RCM still have 2 locations... Winnipeg & Ottawa.
i thought maybe P was made at Winnipeg & No P at Ottawa, because of the 2003 WP Cent.
I too just started checking the 2001-2005 cents for any Mag/Non-Mag errors, it is strange that both error cents were in 2006 only. I think too that the 2006p error was on a 2005 Non-Mag blank. WOW that would really be cool if 2003 error shows up since 5 types were made with WP, No Crown No p/ p & Old Crown No p/ p. Heck I better go get my magnet and check that 2003 WP...

P4Me...exactly, 3 years later a storage-room batch of non-mag P's could pop out.

I still think it was a small production run.
A handful of wrong planchets thrown in would never be found, UNLESS they were done and tracked on purpose. It's virtually impossible to strike "just a few"
on the business strike machines, they operate at blinding speed.


So, what we have here is either:
A)a back-door job, of which there may be a few to a couple rolls more, or
B)a small production run (say a few boxes)that may or may not get discovered.

A couple wrong planchet cents probably DO exist from 2001-2005 but haven't been found yet. Someone might find one years to come in EF. A story like that is more believable.

Good point Penny4Me... I will mention that later today. The reserve was at $1700 as you may have guessed already however I took it down to $1501 last night. Originally I was going to put it at $1400. Lets see what happens! The bidders are quiet at the moment on both coins that are listed.
