JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21605 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 3:04 pm Not an error. PMD, someone being creative. It is only an error if it was done at the mint. Besides that, Canada did not produce a coin with a poppy in 2012 and any poppy coins they produced have a black centre, not a yellow one. Keep it as a novelty coin.

racoon New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 3:30 pm coin was scanned. center was originally black but most of the black is removed thus color of coin showing through. sorry for the poor picture, thus my questionning if this could really be an error Report this Post to the Staff

Redzapsid Pillar of the Community Canada 1571 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 9:57 pm I'm curious to know what the distance to the closest edge from where the poppy is. Is it the same as the distance on the poppy quarters? Report this Post to the Staff

john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 11:56 am Probably some Legion's tribute Report this Post to the Staff
racoon New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 1:32 pm After measuring, poppy is 9.5mm from left rim, 12mm from right rim and 8mm from bottom rim The poppy in itself is approx. 5.0mm diameter Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21605 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 3:11 pm Location and size does not mean much. As I stated earlier, if it was not done at the RCM, it is not an error and this was certainly not done there. As john100 stated maybe some legion stamped them for Remembrance Day. There are many coins that have been colourized by Third Parties that are sold on the market. Report this Post to the Staff
racoon New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 4:05 pm Understood. Thanks to you all for info. Will probably keep it anyway as a novelty coin for grandchild Report this Post to the Staff
The Awesome Guys Coins Valued Member Canada 150 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 11:55 am Definitely PMD, The RCM didn't make an error because 2012 didn't have any colored circulation coins. Report this Post to the Staff
