The dealer had most of them slab by PCGS and CCCS and sold a roll to an auction house, he said they came from a vending company who just forfeited the RCM deposit. The 50 cent clock coin seems plausible to reward your employees with something unique but I do not think the RCM ever would guess they are worth about 10K today. The 2000P quarters were probably either a RCM test or more likely a RCM vp wanting a custom created 25 cents versions. For many years before and till today the RCM sends test tokens to the vending companies for obvious reasons but you do not strike them as like the issued coin, by the way which type of the quarter did you get ? |

I do believe of the group of 2000P coins that are rare,only the dime was a test piece due to the large numbers but the 25 cents are not test pieces in my opinion but the caribou version is really rare

@ Dearborn, this is a rare mule coin in Canada. The 2000p dime and quarter are very rare(the quarter is more scarce). The fact that this was found in circulation is just amazing. Congrats!! I would 100% send in for grading.

A truly amazing find! Quote:
this is a rare mule coin in Canada. They are mules only if they are struck on nickel planchets, if struck on steel planchets they are test coins. Charlton's lists them as test coins struck on steel planchets. The OP would need to XRF test the coin if they suspect it's a mule on a nickel planchet. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

The 2000P Dime is not a Mule coin.

The RCM sure did on the 1999 coins to solve a problem, but this did not happen with the 2000 P type coins, or there would be thousands or millions in the wild |

They are worth hundreds of dollars in UNC condition to thousands. Nice find!

Very rare to find in circulation.does anyone in the forum know of any collectors who hold a quantity of this coin? I have heard for years that one dealer holds a number of these but has not sold them (possibly up to six rolls).it has been more than 25 years since this coin was minted, so you would think that if a quantity existed on the sidelines that some of them would have trickled into the marketplace by now.anyone out there know of any confirmed large quantities in the hands of a collector or dealer?

If anyone had one, I think that they would have posted it in the nearly 4 years since the OP coin was posted. Did he get it graded? By whom? What was the grade?

Unofficially from what I have read, there were between 200-250 2000P dimes minted
so I doubt if anyone has any quantity hoarded, especially seeing they were only
released to vending machine companies for testing.

Thank you JimmyD...this is what I am questioning, the number of 2000p dimes has been estimated as low as 200-400 by various hobby participants, however, I come across quite a few of them for sale...additionally, I have heard of an individual who owns 57 of them, and have heard of a hoard of possibly six rolls existing...would any collectors or dealers here in the forum be of the opinion that significantly more the 200-400 of these coins may exist?
Also, would anyone here know who the dealer was that originally brought the bulk of these coins to the market for slabbing and for sale?
