On the Canada and coins website....it shows 4 different 2006 toonies. The 2 that confuse me is 2006 10 year (dual date) and churchill. Everywhere I look it is the coin with the polar bear looking up. This is the one I have. Is this actually the churchill and there is another dual date toonie with the traditional polar bear picture?  |

Yours is "Churchill",dual-date on top bear looking up.
Dua-date on bottom with normal bear was not issued for circulation,only found in sets.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
-from PCGS website

would be nice to see the other side of the coin huh. but yes dual date on the bottom is different then what I have. so the churchill must be of the bear looking up and the dual date on te top and regular toonie has on the bottom? unless eBayers have it wrong too. the website shows a pic of the bear looking up and it says 10th anni...nothing about churchill.

There are 4 styles: 1. Single bottom date, maple leaf; 2. double bottom date, maple leaf (10th anniversary); 3. Churchill (bear looking up); and 4. single date, RCM logo. There is also a 'pixie ear' variant of the Churchill bear. |

Only 3 in circulation:
Normal twoonie, double dated and logo. The "pixie" is a hub die issue - ALL circulation have it. The PL coins do not.

Hi Everyone
I like to ask question about 2006 toonie in Canadian coin magazine trends section in this magazine there's three lines for 2006
First 10th Anniversary
Second Churchill reverse
Third - Logo
My question is simple where is toonie with maple leaf on top single date on bottom

Only issued in sets. Check the PL or MS NC section instead.

Single date with polar bear reverse is the "normal" circulation issue.

Thank you for respond
I check again this morning all tree lines are with trends
On circulation strike and NBU numismatic from sets still don't
Understand why there is no four lines to fit all designs
Double date on top
Double date on bottom
Logo
Maple leaf

You may want to consult the Charlton Catalog for a more complete listing.
"NBU" is a moronic term concocted by a very influential numismatist who does not like the traditional "Proof Like" designation. ALL coins are NUMISMATIC items, Brilliant is determined by strike and grade and finally Uncirculated is a grade. NBU is just a statement of redundant ignorance.

I'm hear to learn
Folks I humble myself and ask child like questions and so far I don't see child like answer on topic
Regarding terms NBU I didn made up this therms this therms are wildly use in Canadian coin magazine so there is great opportunity to write to editor requesting some explanation this term is used on ICCS certified coins from mint sets .
Term proof like on other hand also had bad conditioning
Because technically this term originally means polished dies and polished planched since they not using this technique this term don't apply
In introduction to prooflikes & numismatic BU section in ICCS population raport 2013 says" the proof likes designation has been casully applied
By those in hobby to all mint coins sets issued in pliofilm holders
Hencforth ICCS will only use the PL designator for such sets set up to and including the year 1976 beyond this date such sets will fall into the
Classification of numismatic brilliant uncirculated NBU in keeping with the mints release data and description as shown in Charlton the grade prefix will be ms and with a qualifier in the comment section of the ICCS certificate of Numismatic BU "

Trends is just a price guide, not a catalog.
You may consult the Charlton catalog in your local library.

Way back around 1950 the RCM started producing sets of coins for collectors with a higher quality finish than the coins that were issued for circulation. These coins were called Proof Like (PL for short). They would also produce Specimen and Proof sets and these were all finished differently. At some point (1976?) the RCM changed how they finished PL coins so these sets were called Brilliant Uncirculated going forward. However this change wasn't 'formalized' until maybe 20 odd years ago. So coins graded by ICCS from the late 70's (for example) prior to the change over would be graded PL and after the change over would be graded NBU. Just a couple of years ago the RCM stopped producing the BU coins as well and what you find in the sets today are just nice circulation coins. I would expect Trends doesn't list the coin you're looking for because it was NII (Not Individually Issued) and was only sold as part of a set. Edited by kuh_85
