hello, I hate to be one of those single topic posters on a forum, but I came across a 2007 toonie that is struck off center and I'm having trouble finding the value of it (I'm assuming somewhere around $2.00  ) I was just wondering if it would be worth my time to try and sell it, or if I should just put it back into circulation and let someone else rack their brain as to what it is. thank you for your help. pics: (sorry for poor quality)    |

Hello etrash2010.  Thanks for posting pictures of this error coin. It looks like it could be a good one. An offcenter error on a toonie is pretty uncommon. It would be worth your trouble to sell it. The wholesale value should be $100 ~ 200. Possibly more. |

wow, I had no idea it could be worth that much. I know the Mods might get testy about this, but how does one go about selling collectable coins, and does anyone on here know of a person/place in Southern AB (Lethbridge Area) that I could talk to about getting a solid price/coin grade on this Toonie. (I'm in University, so 100-200 would have me in beer and Kraft Dinner for a couple weeks)
Thanks again.

The grade doesn't matter too much on an error like this so I wouldn't worry about getting it graded. As a new poster you cant do business here, but I am sure there are people on this site who would be quite interested in this coin. Perhaps they will provide details on how to get in touch.

is that a scratch below the queen?

It does look like a big scratch on the queen. As an offcenter error, the diameter is larger than a normal toonie. - It may have been mangled in a coin counting machine at some point in it's life. Unfortunate, but it shouldn't affect the value much. It's still an awesome error!

yes, there is a big scratch below the queen and and there are three scratches in "CANADA" that look like hyphens so "CANADA" looks like CAN-A-D-A. *** Email Removed by Staff ***thanks for all the help guys.  Edited by etrash2010

I love finding toonies errors like this. In a few years when my jar gets full I'll pick out the good ones and probably release the rest or trade/sell them.
