GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 04/27/2007 9:58 pm Ok I'm in the dark. It's for testing? Like a Trial Strike? I know the term but have no clue what the main goal of minting them is. Are they legal tender? Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4867 Posts	Posted 04/27/2007 10:23 pm I believe that is the first coin of that denomination used for testing of the new multi-ply plated steel blanks. The process is acid based and electroplates a thin coating of nickel, then copper, then nickel again on to a steel core. Report this Post to the Staff
chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 04/27/2007 11:44 pm Before the Government introduced the new plated coins, the vending industry requested actual circulation strike coins instead of the usual test tokens. The coins were issued to the industry on a deposit basis, but not all were returned to the mint, but found their way into the coin market. Seeing how popular the legal tender test coins were, the RCM issued a plated test coin set (mintage 20,000 sets) Since the coins in this set are actual circulation coins and not test tokens, no test token numbers were assigned. I would say these coins are more of a copy set of the test coins put out by the mint to capitalize on their popularity in the numismatic circles. The original issue price for the five coin set and medallion was about $100.00, but Charltons lists it now for about half that. The dollar coin and twoonie are not included as they are not plated coins. Edited by chrycopaul 04/27/2007 11:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
