It isn't obvious from the picture, but they're different. Is anyone aware of a nickel bronze-plated loonie used in a set for 2021? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

mysterious_dr_x Valued Member Canada 284 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 11:32 pm Do you think a nickel cored coin could be a wrong planchet? It would be a weird mistake to happen in 2021 I feel, hence my first assumption, that coin isn't meant for circulation and someone broke a set. Report this Post to the Staff

The 2021 sets I see on the Mint's web site that include an uncirculated version of the regular-design Loonie all describe a "brass-plated steel" coin - none include a bronze-plated nickel coin. But maybe I'm missing something. I suggest spending some time on the Mint's web site and checking it out for yourself to make sure. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

mysterious_dr_x Valued Member Canada 284 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 11:22 pm I looked on the mint's website, all I can find in sets are brass plated steel coins. I have no way of knowing what the core of my coin is made of short of using XRF, but it looks bronze plated, not brass plated, regardless of what is actually inside, if that makes any sense. Weighing is a good idea, I will do it next week when I'm at work. Thanks for the ideas! Report this Post to the Staff
