Looks legit to me.
Only the core was struck without the ring.
The core was off center with a section hitting the colar. The is why we can observe weak serration on one of the pictures.
But we definitly need the weight and XRF analysis for the final confirmation.
I think there's only the 2006 version with the Mint Logo below the Queen Bust. But I don't have my book in front of me right now to confirm.
Where did you get it by curiosity? From Mint Roll?

I just bought a collection from someone. Was part of it. I can ask him if he knows anything about it. How does one get an xrf done?

Large coin or gold buyers would have an XRF, ask nicely or pretend you want to sell it, first get a good weight, Canada Post scales are really accurate. I take it this thing is really thin ? There are many in GTA and larger cities

One part is thin, the part by where the end would be is a bit thicker.
If I can I'll go to a post office but, most likely will just wait to go home.

Very interesting find, indeed! Must unravel this mystery. Remember, it's not the destination that's important, but the journey.

If it was PMD as a cut out you would not have the ring lettering on this piece, this looks like a toonie struck on a core, if the weight and XRF is good. Edited by john100

deliberate post mint clipping So how do you explain it being on only one type of metal?

I will have to agree with smallcentguy on this one. "Looks like a loose core that got struck on its own? Hence a little bigger than normal"

Yes it could be a wrong planchet if the weight and XRF is not correct for a core, most likely a core due to production of a toonie with a two piece planchet

That is a really cool find! The real question seems to be whether that was just a core or wrong planchet struck accidentally, or whether that was intentional mint mischief.

I doubt this is intentional if so the pressman would have centered the planchet perfectly to get a really nice strike, most likely an accidental strike just ran out of the outer rings

If the operator centered it to make a perfect strike, wouldn't it just look like an ordinary coin where the middle fell out?
