Good morning, CCF'ers  I Was going through some of my spare Canadian nickels last night, and came across a 2006 with any kind of a mint mark. I haven't the newest Charlton book, so shouldn't it have a "P" or Maple Leaf Logo?  Thanks, for your replies.  |

2006 comes in two varieties: 1) 2006 was the last year to have coins made with cupro-nickel and therefore no mint mark. 2) Coins with the mint mark ( RCM) are steel planchets plated with nickel. |

Thanks, also, tiker... just a side note, I don't see it in my copy of Charltons. I see these listed, 2006 Maple Leaf logo, and P mark only. |

I had this same question a few months ago. It is a CuNi like nickels from the 1980s and 90s.

Tiker is correct 2006 is the transition year from P to RCM. All Canadian coins have a minimum of two varieties in 2006. Pennies have eight varieties between no "p", "p", " RCM", steel-copper and zinc-copper types Nickels have the 3 types mentioned by Tiker. Dimes and halves both have "P" and " RCM" types Quarters have both caribou "P" and " RCM" types, Breast Cancer "P" & Medal Bravery " RCM" Loonies have no "P", RCM and Olympic loon No "P" Twonies have both No "P" and RCM for both regular 2006 and 1996-2006 anniversary coins |

Thanks, to you too, papledog, No wonder I didn't see it, it was on page 96.  But, it has a fairly small mintage. |

Quote:Dimes and halves both have "P" and " RCM" types Quarters have both caribou "P" and " RCM" types, Breast Cancer "P" & Medal Bravery " RCM" Were the RCM types for the Dimes and the Caribou Quarters in sets only, or can they be found (in reasonable numbers) in circulation, too? Edited by redlock
