Dystor New Member Canada 27 Posts	Posted 06/08/2021 11:23 pm Hey all, This morning I was looking at my change in the Tim Hortons Drive-Thru and nearly slammed on the breaks. I found my first error in change! It is not a game changer error, but you can see the print of the bear on the Toonie behind the Queens portrait. I am not sure the name of this variety/error. I will play around with my microscope and provide better pictures. Especially when it is the day time. WEIGHT: 7.05 g DIAMETER: 28.00mm Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

The dies used made contact with each other when no planchet was in the press and left an impression from the opposite die. All of the coins struck with this die pair would have the same clash marks unless it was caught by the mint and the dies were polished. I'm out of my element here as I'm a US Error Coin collector. I'll let one of the real experts on Canadian errors tell you more. Nice find! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
