SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10438 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 09:56 am I posted this one earlier in the "Welcome to the Loonie Bin" thread, but I felt this one deserved a thread of its own. I picked this one up at the Spring Coin Expo, as part of the Patrick Glassford collection in the Geoffrey Bell Auction. It is a 2008 Olympic loon struck on a 4.57 gram copper-zinc Ethiopian 10-cent planchet. I see very few mint state off-metal loon dollars, especially with this kind of eye-appeal.
