Except for some really cool gold struck Canadian off metal strikes for over 30K US not many other Canadian errors are over 20 K Canadian only exception are the 2000 P caribou 25 cent sold for like 30 to 40 K, I beleive there are only two example. The offer is really good, or just put it into a premium auction with a reserve, the market will speak, and good luck !

Most likely struck on a foreign planchet but the grader did not do the rest of the job which country, if you research and find out which country add about extra 100 bucks to value

With today"s tech like laser or water jets cutting tools can do this with precise same effect as this coin, kind of a crude example for 1978 era

Correction place in a bigger plastic 2x2 so you can see the sharpie marks, like a 25 cents size

If you put this coin in a plastic 2x2 nickel sixe and use a sharpie to mark the 12 oclock of the King's head and mark the reverse 6 oclock you measure the degrees of rotation

You need to have these types of errors certify to protect the note or everyone who handle the note will open and close it, there is no serial under the fold, it is on the back of the fold, it what makes this thing cool. If this note was not certify, it would not reach the price it did, as mentioned there is one big question

Most likely a misscut strip of another note got in the way of the left serial # that is why you see partial first and last digits and this note a fold over happened and received the full right serials a really cool error as all foldovers. The big question is how this left the printers, my guess it was printers waste hard to see how this note was in a brick without another hard crease in it, could not even place a bid it went to the moon, and thanks for uploading the pic !

Yesterday auction of Lot # 726 is a really cool 1967 one dollar foldover, something I have never seen in many years of error collecting, although cool the price was wicked amost 25K with all the taxes and fees. The rest of the really cool currency errors garnerd great pricing too, I guess market speaks

At the RCNA in Calgary a few years ago, some of my American friends said Canadians have free health care, it's not free we just have a different way of paying for it through HST,gas tax, higher booze tax and generally tax on everything, nothing is free

Only reason this topic is created is on Saturday a blanket tarrific of 25% was applied to all Canadian imports and immediately Canada and Mexico did the same, that is the situation untill things got paused. For any Canadians buying coins or currency under Saturdays rule would have incurred an extra 25% if from US sellers

I can assure you if you get any package from UPS or Fedex and it from a US seller, when the package enters Canada you will be contacted by the courier if you want them to clear customs or use your own broker, that is where the tarrific codes comes into effect along with GST or HST owed.

Although the tarrifs are paused for 30 days, the buyer will pay the 25% in higher pass through pricing or in the case of coins if bought at major auction houses since most only ship by UPS or Fedex you will have a CBSA form for the products code and it's tarrif if any but if there is a blanket 25% you will be charged another 25%, with auction fees, exchange and if the tarrif comes in, that is 100% of winning bid!

Must chime in as a Canadian if my guess is right another 25% is added to an American auctions this would equate to a 100% of winning bid, almost impossible for a Canadian to buy at US auctions, just a nonlogical trade war
