timotay01 Valued Member Canada 186 Posts	Posted 08/21/2012 11:26 am I guess it depends on if sometime in the future they decide to standardize it, sounds like that is unlikely so I'll probably not bother. Just to confirm the 1812 Shannon's also should have both up/down? Report this Post to the Staff
t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 08/21/2012 11:43 am Yes - both security types have the up/down varieties Now, for the record: I am contemplating of having these coins for the sake of completeness. I own 'complete' sets that include varieties not yet listed in Charlton, so I have to decide if these are indeed varieties. Edited by t_y 08/21/2012 11:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 08/22/2012 8:47 pm Absolutely you should collect both types! Just because it's a randomly-produced variety doesn't make it less of a collectable for the completist. I realize that not everyone would agree with me, but I see the up/down varieties similar to rotation varieties or Machine Doubling -- something that happens that makes a coin different than some of the others coming off the same line. I'm saving both types in all the errors of 2012 I find. After all, they're only $2 each. What have you got to lose? Report this Post to the Staff
jodew71 New Member Canada 26 Posts	Posted 09/11/2012 2:50 pm I work in a small convenience store and in the last 2 weeks I've found 2-2012 toonies without the security features. I'm still looking for the loonie though. Report this Post to the Staff
ShareBear Valued Member Canada 499 Posts	Posted 09/11/2012 8:20 pm If anyone finds a toonie without the edge lettering now that would be real keeper. In the US some presidental dollars were found without the edge lettering. Report this Post to the Staff
t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 09/11/2012 8:23 pm Such an error on a Canadian coin would sell for a small fraction of the American counterpart. But no doubt, it would be a keeper, at least for me. Report this Post to the Staff
falcon Valued Member Canada 457 Posts	Posted 10/26/2012 11:51 pm seems some people would like to cash in on the upside down lettering easy way to double your money tell someone its an error. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...230871468923 Report this Post to the Staff
john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 10/27/2012 01:06 am as the toonie expert have already commented earlier there is a 50 percent chance for each type to occur. Report this Post to the Staff
