Something eye-catching and cool for a Canadian error. A 1998 10c struck on a Cu-plated steel planchet intended for a Malawi 1 Tambala coin (1.8 grams). Pretty cool, especially since the planchet was very similar in size to the nickel 10c planchet - so it is almost a full collar strike. This one is headed to PCGS...

CCF member Canadian varieties has one (unattributed), also in mint state. I suspect less than five is probably a good estimate...

John100 - nice to see you the other evening. I think your 10-cent is the same as this one (and not a test piece)...

The mint luster suggests that the Canadian 10 Cents is not a copper plated fake.
