I thinks it's courteous of the seller to wash off the ugly paint before selling these coins.

Actually I had a conversation about this coin with a very well known and respected error collector who bought the first one of these.
He states that the loonie is not struck on a foreign planchet but is missing all of the plating and although the listing didnt mention it, the Olympic logo were in fact missing on the coin!
In fact the the first one that sold, did mention that the logo was missing.
Any thoughts?

It is the coloured "puck" loonie, after a nice acetone bath. Note that on circulation strikes, the 'Vancouver 2010' is raised, but on the colored (nickel) puck loon, it is painted.

I dont know what it is. The pictures are horrible so all I have to go on is Patricks word.
Personally, I believed it to be a scam. Someone trying to make a quick buck!
