I would like to see what other people are finding in other parts of the province/country. Report this Post to the Staff

Dunce New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 6:10 pm Why the different color? Report this Post to the Staff
Alan Pillar of the Community Canada 1463 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 7:12 pm Looks like you've got an off metal strike there. Put it on a scale if you've got one. That's a rarity. I would repost your coin in the Canadian errors section If I was you. Don't suppose there's many errors like that from the last few years. The world mints have got pretty good at keeping them out.

purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1113 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 7:29 pm It could have come into contact with something that caused a chemical reaction leading to a change in color. You see oddly toned coins from time to time that were washed, buried, heated etc... But you never know, weight would be a good start. from the angle of the photo it looks to be a different size than the comparison coin, is this actually the case? Report this Post to the Staff
john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 4653 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 9:11 pm A weight would help. Report this Post to the Staff
XWLCoins Valued Member Canada 300 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 10:21 pm The comparison coin doesn't look Canadian... Am I right? Also, it has the color of a Canadian loon but that couldn't be possible. The blank loonie wouldn't fit into the collar. I'd have to say PMD Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 8236 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 01:06 am The comparison coin appears to be a 1992 British penny. Perhaps the quarter is a long way from home and someone plated it to raise it's value from virtually nothing to very little. If the shoe were on the other foot and the penny was for sale here, what would it be worth? Virtually nothing. Plate it and you may generate some interest. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2434 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 2:29 pm Since these coins are plated, I wonder if it's possible to "Texas" them like zinc pennies. Toronto Coin Club www.torontocoinclub.ca Office of the Secretary Meetings 3rd Mondays at 7 PM Report this Post to the Staff
punman Pillar of the Community Canada 822 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 3:50 pm I know this is an old thread. I was not the OP, but I did make a comment back when it was fresh. I was going through my quarters today and was looking at the non frosted front fin variety I have. Seven years have gone by and I have not seen the variety listed anywhere. Why would it not be as significant as, for example, the 1976 Nickel Dollar with attached and detached jewels? Report this Post to the Staff
Castor sous Valued Member Canada 86 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 4:12 pm Hi punman, it might will somday be part of charlton catalog, like the extra sail 2012 hms shanon, it took about 7 or 8 years to be part of the charlton. Report this Post to the Staff
