John that would be my thought as well, although I'm certainly no expert. I agree they're sort of cool as well specially because the colour imperfection is so very visible.

As for the OPs 2007 loonie this is plated with either bronze or brass, brass is also an alloy, that of copper and zinc.

Plating errors and poorly annealed planchets tend to have a more "salt and pepper" look to them, not a gradational colour change...

I think one could replicate your loon error with application of heat as well... The plating is very thick on a loon, look down near the bottom of this page at Scissel's post.

Here is an example of a real plating error: https://goccf.com/t/215183

It is now in a PCGS holder: http://www.PCGS.com/cert/32839539
