Topher Pillar of the Community Canada 965 Posts	Posted 10/15/2007 10:33 am I've got a 1952-2002 Toonie with the date on the Polar bear side (reverse). It's the only one I've found like that. Has anyone else seen this? I'm also wondering if it's just someone popping the centre out and reinserting it backwards, rather than a true mint error. I knew there was something odd about it when I first saw it, but it took me a couple of days to figure it out. I'll have to look at it closer when I get home, and try to get the wife to let me use her camera to take pics. Report this Post to the Staff

It can't have come from the mint like that, because to make a bimetallic coin the two pieces of the coin are struck simultaneously with a single pair of dies, just like an ordinary coin blank. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Just wanted to make sure before I threw it back into circulation. Whoever did it, did a good job of lining it up properly, at least. I'm just impressed that someone took the time to do that in the first place! LOL Report this Post to the Staff
