Meandice Valued Member Canada 254 Posts	Posted 09/17/2025 8:30 pm Hi all, Something seems off with this toonie... The core colour matches the rim. The black is caked on dirr or corrosion. Weight is 6.97g Is this PMD? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 09/18/2025 11:09 am Has no one noticed that the inner ring should be brass plated aluminum, not nickel. Meandice, soak in pure acetone for 24 hours to see if the paint can be removed. Test the inner core to see if it s magnetic, you may have what is known as a one colour toonie where the inner core is made of nickel instead of brass plated. https://goccf.com/t/149853 Edited by JimmyD 09/18/2025 12:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Meandice Valued Member Canada 254 Posts	Posted 09/18/2025 1:52 pm After soaking a little the coin the dark black areas started to show color so I put it under the scope. Looks like the brass platting is coming off? Report this Post to the Staff
