Hello, I'm looking to see if anyone can identify my Coins. I think I have two German planchet toonies. I found them in a small numismatic collection I received out of an estate. I took some ok pictures with coin snap but it identified them as a low MS. and said they were worth $4.95. I'd hate to sell these coins and then find out later they were worth ten times as much. 1st one   2nd one   Any info would be great! Edited by Sten986

Your pics are a bit small , can't tell about the first one but the second one is a counterfeit camel toe. Also maybe you should start a new thread. jbuck fixed it

The guru (toonieman) says he can't tell from the photo if #1 is the German, but I personally think the 2nd one is cameltoe fake.

Compared to the certified proof I have of the same year both of the coins have normal looking front left paws and there is an absence the extra lines associated with the counterfeits. Earlier today I bought a "Canada 1996 First Year Issue BU UNC Uncirculated Toonie" from a reputable dealer in my area. I suppose the best thing to do is a direct comparison of the them and see if I'm just imagining the lines. Both examples look toned but not really like they have been circulated much, if at all.
edit: I forgot to mention i'll have to wait a few days for the toonie to arrive in the mail.

I think they are German planchets. And I've punched a few cores out to have a say.  An answer to your question. Keepers. "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

Impossible to tell from photos, even photos better than these.
