taylerjames ..According to the weights for used coins I have been keeping track of, your 2007 dime should weight approx. 1.774 grams.

Indeed it should! But the scale doesn't lie! II also weighed a few other dimes and they did weigh 1.8g. Seems like quite a rare error!

To me, it is worth nothing, because I don't intend to sell it for a very long time. Your coin is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. There is not much love out there for modern 10-cent errors, but if it is in mint state condition, you might be able to sell it anywhere between $100 to $150. I can't see it fetching more...

Coin finally came back from CCCS.  Thoughts? Looking to sell. ebay? Forums? What should I expect to get for it? Thanks in advance. |

So, why didn't CCCS put the source planchet, Papua New Guinean 5 Toea, right on the comment? Did you tell that to Louis when you submitted the coin to CCCS? The RCM did not strike coins of that size and composition for any other country in 2007.... Like I said, there is not a lot of love out there for 10-cent coins right now, even errors. You might get $150 for it on ebay. You would get a lot more, if the CCCS comment actually stated what the country and denomination was for the intended planchet... Good luck...

Ya I wasn't sure why CCCS didn't state "Papua New Guinean 5 Toea" as I did write it on the order form...

It's impossible for this coin to be struck on a 5 Toea planchet. That planchet is significantly wider in diameter (19.5MM) than a Canadian dime (18.03MM) so that planchet would have never been able to fit into the Canadian dime collar.

The Dime I have is roughly the same diameter as the 5 Toea. The weight is exactly the same.
So in your opinion, what kind of Planchet would it have been struck on? Because I can't find anything remotely close the Planchet that my dime is struck on.
According to the RMC my dime should be impossible.
As my dime has proven, nothing is impossible...

I have many Canadian wrong planchet errors that are struck on planchets that I can't identify. They are most likely struck on foreign planchets but the records we have available to us are not complete so identification is sometimes difficult or impossible. It doesn't matter how close your coins diameter is, what matters is that a 5 Toea planchet would have never fit into the Canadian Dime collar, way to big at 1.5MM difference. You need to look for a foreign planchet that is 18.03MM or less, in addition to the weight, composition and time of striking variables.

How about an Oman Twenty Five Baisa struck on nickel clad steel, weighs 2.6grams, minted in 2008 and has a diameter of 18MM? That's my best guess.
