is it just me, or do you notice the price difference of Canadian error coins and their american counterparts? Also , I see a fast rising demand for Canadian error coins and currency, in the market.

 nuemistman! I don't know about the American error coins, I don't follow them, but I do notice on ebay at least that coins I was picking up for 50c or a dollar are now going for 7 or 8 times as that. Or more, if the coin is nice and the error sweet. Sometimes I'd get a nice large chip error and pay next to nothing, and then a year or so later I see the same one go for ten bucks. I don't know how people are finding out about these beauties but I wish they'd leave the ones I want to buy alone! lol hahahaha |

People are becoming more aware of the possibilities, on Canadian errors, and I think theres alot more to find out there,, the prices do appear to be going up fast.

Prices going up is good if your a seller but bad for folks like us who are collecting. I was kind of hoping ebay would have a separate section for Canadian errors like they do for U.S. |

i just dont understand the microscopic errors commanding a premium.
if you cant see it with the naked eye then is it an error or "within tollerances"?
i dunno.... seems if you look hard enough you could find something wrong with every coin...

I like the fact that all errors are not listed under one Error section for Canadian coins on ebay. Less competition for me to buy them! I actually have to search for them. If they were all under one heading then every coin buyer in the country would zero in on that heading with a bowl of popcorn in hand waiting for the final countdown on each error coin. |

The 2007 1 cent posted looks to me to be PMD. Better picture is required tho. |

Posted Today 1 Hr 25 Min ago -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2007 1 cent posted looks to me to be PMD. Better picture is required tho. I agree with the nickelsguy, there is a bulge on third side of coin which would be from a squeeze job. |

New pic posted, in defence of the last one, I must say, if was a squeese job, it was done at the mint,cause it looks to me, under mag that there are no sharp cuts on the coin, also if it was squeezed PMD , wouldn`t the silver color show though? Looks like it went through the coating prossess in this state,well I`ll post it in the near future for your scrutiny!lol also, thanks for your input,and this great forum, Guys! |

the rim of the 07 was squeezed after the strike causing the damage on both sides. PMD. |
