BrandonCoin New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 11/18/2013 1:56 pm I wanted to take a picture of the coin but my cellphone camera can't take one that isn't blurry. Sorry. I have two of these, 1961 Canadian Dimes with the second "1" near the beading appearing not as a straight line like the first 1 in the date but as a "1" minus the bottom line and inverted. Does anyone know anything about similar coins with this mistake? I find it hard to believe I could be the only person to own the only two of these in existence. I have searched everywhere to find out info on these coins and even local collectors are baffled. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Also, there is another string somewhere on this site that refers to them. I know that one sold on ebay not that long ago in a decent uncertified AU/MS grade for about $50. There were also a couple listed for sale by an optimistic seller north of $500 in CCCS hard holders. Edited by Smallcentguy 11/18/2013 3:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
