Have the opportunity to buy this... is it a German planchet? It seems to have that 'halo' effect... What would it be worth in that shape? Thanks Noah  Note: This is the only picture I can get. Sellers picture. Edited by noahs-numismatics

1. Impossible to tell with a circulated coin.
2. Impossible to tell from that picture.

Agree with SPP - impossible to say based on the pic and with that (apparently) degree of wear

Okay, thanks for the input!
I was mostly just curious to see if that was actually a German planchet.
Thanks!

OK I do have a German Planchet that I have checked against 50 other toonies that are MS63+ guess what, I'm getting a headache doing this.
Charlton states "The two dollar coin struck from a German planchet has a dull matte finish, with lines similar to the bullion finish across the ring"
Can someone please explain what is meant by "with lines similar to the bullion finish across the ring"
If I'm looking at this right and I do see lines, but I'm not sure if they are the right type of lines, I have 50 German Planchets, I'm not that lucky.
Any help please or point me the right way.Thanks
Hope this helps you as well noah.

CCN Trends is reporting in the Oct 8 issue that ICCS will no longer attribute a German planchet.

Brian stated to me that he does not assign German planchets anymore. There are very few of these coins assigned by ICCS, some of them in error - I returned 2 to be corrected. I communicated Sean and he corrected in Trends. CCCS is the only service assigning the origin of the planchets.
I wrote a small article to the CNA journal and was told it is going to be published in October (but until now I have not received a confirmation).

t_y if our article does not make it into CNA (I hope it does) can you please post here so some of us can figure this out. Thanks

I was told minutes ago that the article on German vs. Canadian 1996 planchets was published in the CNA journal. Not being a member, I have to wait for a courtesy PDF copy.
I hope this article will help - it is the result of years of research and investigation.

Got me CN Journal today, and that is a wonderful article t_y! The pictures were perfect to visually aid the text. By far the best reference for the 1996 planchet types I have seen. Thank you for your hard work!  |

I think the CN Journal should have made the side-by-side twoonie figure much larger than they did....

Considering that it is not often you find a side by side image comparison, yes, I am surprised they did not make it a bit larger, but at least it is around scale.
