I also have a toonie from 2014 to compare it to and you can see it slightly but not as well as the 2018 coin Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 20334 Posts	Posted 06/09/2025 11:16 am The copy on the rims are stamped on in a different process from the minting of the coin. Sometimes the displaced metal will cause bumbs if the copy is not perfectly centered. If you look on the edge, wherever there is a letter, you will see a bumb on the rims. This is common and not considered an error and adds no value. Edited by JimmyD 06/09/2025 11:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
