Hi,this is my first post and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I am the original owner of a 2002 coin gift set that Has never been unsealed. The core of the Toonie is not flush with the outer ring. One side of the core is actually higher than the other. It looks to be on a slight angle. can anyone please tell me if this has any value? Thank you  |

 I don't think there is much if any added value. John1  |

to the CCF Whatever happened to it, it happened after the Toonie was struck. No extra value. Edited by JimmyD

The cores are relatively easy to remove from the outer ring. Maybe happened after striking at the mint where the coinage was mechanically transported/sorted to bags and rolls.

Please tell us what set you have it in. I agree with the others, no extra value, but still neat. "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

The OP states that this is a sealed set, so this would be a mint striking error not PMD. Leave it in the set.I Edited by denny7000

These coins are 2 separate pieces, correct?

Keith12 toonies start off as two separate pieces and are joined/ locked in place during the striking process. The exception being the 1996 German planchettes which came pre assembled.

It has happened AFTER the coin was struck. There is no way under tons of pressure in the chamber that the centre core could still be raised. It would get flattened out much like the off centre cores you see. The coins are packaged at a different site from the mint so a lot of shipping and handling between when it was struck and when it was packaged. This is what happens when a core is not seated right  Edited by JimmyD

If this is the case then wouldn't there be some sign of damage to the coin, maybe some more pictures of both sides of the coin would help.

It shouldn't really matter how it happened and possibly you may never know.
The fact that it could not have happened during the striking of the coin
eliminates the possibility of it being an error.

The core and the ring are together and are struck by the same die at the same time. The inner ring CAN'T be like that as it comes out of the dies after striking. It is a solid, flat piece with the 2 pieces together.

I stand corrected, not a striking error!
