Thanks SPP, and yes from what I know 1967-69 there was a fair amount of crazy stuff to come out of the mint. Iv gone through a few hundred 68 nickel dimes but every one I find is heavily circulated. I'll probably end up buying the nickel variety from Ottawa and Philadelphia as I don't think iv ever found one even close to mine state, and most of them have been culled with giant scratches.
Also that's a pretty cool planchet error! I recently saw a 1963 Canadian 5 cent struck on a dodecagon planchet, is that the right shape lol? Anyways is was on a planchet like the 1962, it was on the bay but out of my price range lol. I love those kinds of errors thanks for sharing.

Get a load of this Wrekkdd. Shortly before you started this thread, I picked the exact coin to challenge the guessers on the 20 Question thread. I was so shocked to see it. How dare you.  . I knew I was done right there and then. Loonie luck is what I call it. keith12 doesn't miss much.  . Bummer, I had them scratching their heads, but I don't blame you, just my luck/timing. 1st round is on you.  . "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

No worries Wrekkdd. I don't play to win. They pick on me endlessly there, and even chase me down on other threads to give me the gears. Hope you start playing 20 Q's.

The 1968 dimes are the only modern circulation coins struck at a foreign mint. Surprising how many different composition varieties of these 68's are out there. You can tell by the reeding that the example shown by SPP was struck in Philadelphia. Quote:

Good thing you didn't buy, it's a fake. All multi sided circulation coins are struck on round planchets. It's the dies that give them their shape. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

It's the dies that give them their shape So it's not the collar that gives the coin that shape? I have never actually thought about it, if the planchet is cut that way as blanks then it would be impossible for a round collar to produce such a thing unless it was both a planchet and collar error. On a side not.. I would never spend actual money on anything I question without an answer. On top of that it was several hundred dollars and I wouldn't spend anything close to that if not in hand and I understood how it happened. So is the idea of a multi edged coin being struck off year where it should be round(or vise versa impossible)? An off topic question from my original question seems to have been answered Edited by Wrekkdd

A blank loonie planchet is round and the collar creates the hex shape, as in the example of the George Manz error the pressman forgot to change the collar and another member here Zonad has a 25 cents struck on a scalloped shape coin, a lovely example.

So then the error I saw could have been legit? I think I started a seperate thread on coins being struck with the wrong collar but can't remember. Anyways I would love to continue this conversation when I'm fully awake. If I didn't already start the topic of coins struck in the wrong collar(pretty sure I did), then I will re bring it up:p Also since installing a die much like preparing the collar is a mint workers job, would this situation be considered a mule? I feel like I'm blending my last several questions into one big possibility Sorry for the ramble of, how's, and maybe not  Night shift....... That needed a heavy edit lol, if I'm gonna text a big message I gotta proof read, this was a mess and might still be bad. Edited by Wrekkdd

Good fun trig. Glad you joined us on 20 Q's Wrekkdd. Now that the coin is out of the bag, I can talk about this 68 dime. I don't think the Philly mint was tasked with striking silver coins. Does anyone know one way or the other? There may be silver planchet errors from Philly, but I've never seen an abundance of them, meaning circulation coins, or I would have gotten one by now. Saying this after finding 4 varieties on Numista. It doesn't list a mintage # for a 68 Philly silver, but lists grade values suggesting it was a circulation coin, not an error. Numista is good, but not perfect. "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

The scalloped 5 cents are probably just a mistake, I have seen 2 or 3 over the years, the 1968 dime on a US clad planchet is a different story apparently a US dealer has rolls

I see there is a 1968 Canadian dime on US planchet in the RCNA auction. Lot 894, PCGS AU 50. I went through all my 1968 silver before I sold my bulk silver off. I had several rolls. I found quite a few 10 cent coins that appeared to have Philadelphia reeding. I think there is another string here about it somewhere. I sold them all. |

That is the same coin I handled a couple of years ago (and also shown above in this thread). It was raw when it was in my hands.

Id love to see an amazing error collection in hand lol, I need to get out to the convention some time and actually introduce myself(or at least a local Hamilton meeting) I'm glad I asked about this.
If anyone has anything else to add in the future please do so, if this is the as far as my question goes then thanks everyone.
