I think before we call this 100% PMD we need the weight of the coin. |

A pic with a regular old toonie side by side will answer most of the questions.

Hey, The weight on both coins seem to be the same. 0.25oz or 7 grams (not sure if any of these would be the proper unit of measurement).  |

7.3 GRAMS is the correct weight for pre 2012 toonies, my guess it's grounded down, unless you weighed the 1996 and the odd toonie on the same scale and both read 7 grams

Yes, I weighed them both separately on the same scale.

So the scale is off, looks like a largest strike through grease maybe if so worth something.

Take this coin to a jeweler and asked them to weigh it, you will have an accurate weight

I'm seeing how a lot of you are stating it's PMD. That said, is it worth going through the hoops of seeing if this is going to be worth something or not? Thanks for all the help. |

If the off beat coin weighs below 7.3 grams on an accurate scale it's for sure PMD, or place the two toonies on top of each other and turn it on it's edge and photo it to see if it is slimmer but the weight will be the way to go. If the coin is a huge strike thru, it is rare on a toonie maybe a couple hundred bucks or more |

not some kind of a doubling effect or anything, I believe what you see is the commemorative 2002 obverse reading 1952-2002. oh... whoops  you're completely right |

The fine lines across the error side are worrisome. That's not something you'd see on an error, unless it was harshly cleaned. With a strike-through error, the diameter would be the same as a normal coin. With a broadstrike error the diameter would be larger, but there'd be no reeding. It looks a lot more like PMD than any sort of authentic error type. |

I would be inclined to agree with "post mint damage"
