Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 3:09 pm My friend Fourmack is having problems uploading photos, so I'm putting these on for him. Is this a genuine 1987 dollar? It is thinner than others. (It's the one in the middle) Is that just wear, or is there anything that indicates it may be counterfeit? Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5584 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 3:47 pm I sent an email to Fourmack to give him some good info from the Haxby Canada guide. These were the coins that the dies were lost on the way to the mint from Ottawa to Winnipeg. The loon dollars (the new design draft) were struck only for BU sets, with weights and dia different from the Voyageur dollars and were bronze plated nickel. I'm sure that some of the planchets got (mixed up) or something. I don't think that it's a fake, although they never recovered the original dies. Report this Post to the Staff

This loonie looks really beaten or maybe a thin planchet an XRF will tell the story Edited by john100 07/12/2023 5:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
denny7000 Pillar of the Community Canada 1018 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 5:55 pm If it's the coin first pic/ middle the rim looks almost worn to being round, so looks like a lot of wear may be responsible for the weight. Report this Post to the Staff
Cdncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 999 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 7:00 pm The rim looks filed down on the one side. I think it's legit, just really beaten up. Report this Post to the Staff
