It should be pointed out that there is a distinct difference between the Painted leaf and non-painted leaf mintage's...

2007 "Alpine Skiing" Painted Leaf 25 Cent
This mule can only be found in special cards, which were produced for Petro Canada. They can also be found in a very small number of collector sets.
Instead of the proper 2007 obverse die, a 2008 obverse die was used to strike approximately 40,000 coins.
The strange fact regarding this mule: The 2008 dated coins fit the definition of a "mule" coin.
HOWEVER, since only approximately 900 coins were produced with the correct 2007 date, and over 40,000 coins were produced with the wrong date the mule coins SHOULD be less valuable than the correct ones.
HOW TO TELL IF YOUR COIN IS A MULE:
