zippyslow New Member Canada 16 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 2:16 pm Yup, it is magnetic The odd thing is that it looks like a regular dime, nothing special. Just the thickness and weight. What did you end up doing with your Quarter JeyRey? Edited by zippyslow 03/19/2013 2:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
zippyslow New Member Canada 16 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 3:00 pm Could it be... Papua New Guinean 5Toea 2.55g 19.53mm Nickel plated Steel Which happen to be minted at the RCM! Might have a winner! Edited by zippyslow 03/20/2013 12:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 03/21/2013 1:02 pm put it on ebay, if the dealer has given you a reasonable offer for this coin raw maybe you should take it, there are very few dime collectors. Report this Post to the Staff

Vance Valued Member Canada 50 Posts	Posted 03/21/2013 4:30 pm I'm a dime fanatic and I would be interested! So would John Regitko at the Canadian Coin News. You should email him what you've found here, and your findings may be published. He has recently discussed a 1978 quarter struck on a thick planchet. The edge grooves extend the width of the oversized coin, and the composition is somewhat of a mystery. Report this Post to the Staff
zippyslow New Member Canada 16 Posts	Posted 03/21/2013 5:08 pm Thanks Vance! Once I get the coin back from CCCS I will post what they say with Pics of course. Report this Post to the Staff
taylerjames New Member Canada 12 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 10:07 pm hi guys I too have found one of these in my change. I have found little information on this coin and very poor images. so I have taken some photos of mine and will share them with you all. I would really like to know more about this coin and what its worth. you can click on the images to see the full size version for closer inspection. I can always take more photos if anyone would like. Edited by taylerjames 04/06/2013 10:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Might have a winner! Sounds plausible, as long as the diameter of the planchet is not larger than a Canadian 10-cent planchet.

dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 9:49 pm It's interesting that in both cases the collar was able to create a full reeded edge. Why would the collar be so tall? Report this Post to the Staff
taylerjames New Member Canada 12 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 06:09 am Thats a good question dialog. I'm really not sure! My other half is going to toronto today and is going to have it looked at. Ill let you guys know what she finds out! Report this Post to the Staff
taylerjames New Member Canada 12 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 06:18 am So just a thought planchets are usually reeded before they are pressed right? Maybe it got mixed in with the dime planchets after the fact? Hence the full reeded edge? Report this Post to the Staff
