Take this coin to a jeweler and asked them to weigh it, you will have an accurate weight

I'm seeing how a lot of you are stating it's PMD.

That said, is it worth going through the hoops of seeing if this is going to be worth something or not?

Thanks for all the help.

If the off beat coin weighs below 7.3 grams on an accurate scale it's for sure PMD, or place the two toonies on top of each other and turn it on it's edge and photo it to see if it is slimmer but the weight will be the way to go. If the coin is a huge strike thru, it is rare on a toonie maybe a couple hundred bucks or more

not some kind of a doubling effect or anything, I believe what you see is the commemorative 2002 obverse reading 1952-2002.


oh... whoops you're completely right

The fine lines across the error side are worrisome. That's not something you'd see on an error, unless it was harshly cleaned.

With a strike-through error, the diameter would be the same as a normal coin. With a broadstrike error the diameter would be larger, but there'd be no reeding.

It looks a lot more like PMD than any sort of authentic error type.

I would be inclined to agree with "post mint damage"
