this was just on ebay and I bid pretty high on it. it was listed as a flip struck 1 cent on a 10 cent planchet but the seller missed that the 10 cent was already struck and then the 1 cent was struck over it, and flipped as well. it didn't really look like it was struck over the 10 cent until you get to picture number 4. I hope one of the CCF family got it. I stopped bidding at $350. it sold for $385. 353173856981 |

This is, by far, the most common year to see this error, as they had some "help" at the Royal Canadian Mint. Similar to the 1969 double struck in collar 1c coins you see. I suspect at least 50 or more of this error type, dated 1969, exist. Mint sport. That said - for an error collector, that price was a really good deal as they typically sell for CAN$800 or more. I saw the auction, but I decided not to bid, since I own a set (reverse-reverse and reverse-obverse) already.

I also tapped out at $350, but did manage to pick up the 1969 flip strike cent for a reasonable price from the same seller.
The date is really prominent on the queen's head!

I would have bid but it looked like it may have been cleaned. All 3 coins may have been, to be honest.

How much did it sell for?
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

sorry, I thought you were asking about the OP coin.
I have no idea what the roll sold for that Zonad mentioned.

Buyer beware !
No weight or diameter given by the seller which would have to be absolutely necessary to confirm that is was struck on a 10 cent planchet.
I can't help suspecting that is is a normal 1 cent, nickel plated and subsequently 'doctored' a little, for the purpose of deception.
I hope I am wrong. Perhaps I need some educating.

If this the case, could it be a Mint sport, (deliberate error), rather than an error?
I suppose this question raises a rather moot point.

Read my post above. 1969 is probably the most common year for "mint shenanigans" at the Royal Canadian Mint to have escaped into the hands of a single dealer, and has slowly spread across to collectors in both Canada and the US over the past 50 years. Most of those (probably 400 or more) are the 1969 double struck in collar 1-cent. A lesser amount are these double struck 1c on 10c, there are a handful of 1969 dollars struck on silver 50c planchets, 1969 10c and 25c struck on silver planchets and even a 1969 25c struck on a gold sovereign. Tons of examples have changed hands in Heritage Auctions, Stacks and other auction houses in Canada.

Royal Mint employees were making all sorts of illegal errors, as protest before moving the Mint from London to Llanstrissant (Wales). These illegal 'coins' were thrown over the perimeter wall by the handful, to be picked up by lucky pedestrians outside the Mint.
