cdngmt Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 01/10/2014 02:09 am Probably a silly question... but I have a 1987-2012 25th anniversary loonie lighter in colour than regular loonie coins and non magnetic. Was there a gold (colour) plated version of a silver loonie issued in any of the commemorative sets in 2012? Thanks Arthur Report this Post to the Staff

The Loonie (as rest of the coins) srtuck from .9999 Silver and also gold-plated. Here the URL to Loonie listing (not mine), that has coin close-up: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-Canada...em4ac7d7e598 The doble-dated, but not silver Loonie issued also in the traditional 2012 Proof Set, but the gold-plated one has "rich gold" color.

cdngmt Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 01/10/2014 1:11 pm Thanks for the info. I'm still unsure of the signifigance of its not reacting to a magnet, (or doubting my good luck of getting the a silver coin for the price of a regular bronze in a lot purchase Again thanks for the reply.
