2008 Canadian dime on the wrong planchet, almost twice as thick and weighs ~2.7g versus ~1.8g for a normal 2008 Canadian dime. Any ideas on value? I can't find anything for 2008 wrong planchet dimes, only 2007 and on ~2.5g planchets. Thanks!  |

I have one of those too as pictured below. Mine weighs 2.64 grams or 40.7 grains and much thicker than normal dime. I think it's struck on a Oman 25 Baisa planchet, which Canada struck that year. The one shown beside the dime weighs 40.9 grains, virtually the same weight as the dime pictured and is also dated 2008. The technical diameter of the Baisa is 18MM while the Canadian dime is 18.3MM, so the Baisa planchet, as slightly smaller, would easily fit into a dime collar. As far as a value, I could only guess but maybe in the $175-$200 range.   |

I noticed that the reeding on mine as well as the one of the OP is pretty weak and not well defined.

That is an impressive foreign planchet 10c error... I love how thick it is!

That's kind of cool, chuck it on ebay if you have no interest on keeping it. |

Very cool. I can think of many people who would be interested in this. $225-250 is what I value it at.

I'm curious about the collar. It looks like the reeding goes face to face. Why would the 10c production collar be designed to take a thick planchet?

I have seen pictures of collar dies but not in person. I am guessing that the collar dies are usually much thicker than the planchet.
