That note is easily a VF15....however, buy the note you will be happy with....it's not always about getting something for the lowest possible price

Normally, I don't like to revive old threads, but I figured why bother start a new one... I visited their store for the first time this past week, while in Waterloo for meetings. I was very impressed at the organization, friendliness of the staff and how easy it was to view a large selection of coins. They also had tons of coins supplies and numismatic literature. I spent a long time with one of the owners (Kirk), chatting about the coins in their "oddball and error" box, and of course, fishing in northern Canada.  For a 'brick and mortar' coin shop, this one is fantastic. We are quite lucky in southern Ontario, to have several really good coin stores (B&W, Metro Coin & Banknote, Canadian Coin & Currency, and Alliance Coin & Banknote).

I would love to shop in their physical store sometime but I am not sure how it would work out bring all that numismatic items back across the border into Michigan.

I know a guy who has bought 1999 millenium sets from colonial acres! they were clearly tampered with and one of the inside cardboard inserts were totally separated! funny considering they(colonial acres) are the ones who originally discovered the errors

What error are you talking about? Should they not check their inventory to see if they have a known error?

It appears that the discovery was first reported to the public via two ebay auctions which began within minutes of each other on December 18, 1999 by Colonial Acres Coins of Kitchener, Ontario. Todd Sandham of Colonial Acres Coins provided information on where they are being found. In an e-mail dated January 3rd he states: "... so far the mule quarters have only been found in the Royal Canadian Mint's Millennium Uncirculated Set. I have received confirmation from about 20 individuals who have found the mule 25's in the oval map of Canada holders. None of the 25's found were contained in the Christmas cover packaging. It would seem that the mule 25 was produced sometime in September (we had an unopened box of 40 maps that we had received in September and consequently found a handful of mule 25's in those sets).

It was the 1999 oval holder where the March 25-cent was found struck on a silver planchet (proof-like strike, not a proof strike which the silver versions were made). https://www.icollector.com/1999-Can...et_i27916061"Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

SPP, I know you are friends with the owner of Colonial, but what I'm stating is absolutely TRUE! THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXERT FROM THE ORIGINAL STORY: "The result of this muling was a small quantity of September and November coins struck with the larger bust obverse bearing no denomination or what the general press in Canada has been referring to as the, "Missing 25-cent coins." Reports indicate that the errors are being found in some sets delivered by the mint in from August through December. These sets are comprised of Proof-Like examples of the 12 Millennium 25-cent coins (and a specially designed medal) inserted into an oval-shaped cardboard holder described by the RCM as, "a reproduction of an original Thomas Bowen chart published in 1785" -- simply referred to buy collectors as a map of Canada. It appears that the discovery was first reported to the public via two ebay auctions which began within minutes of each other on December 18, 1999 by Colonial Acres Coins of Kitchener, Ontario" |
