SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 06:06 am Good morning, CCF'ers I Was going through some of my spare Canadian nickels last night, and came across a 2006 with any kind of a mint mark. I haven't the newest Charlton book, so shouldn't it have a "P" or Maple Leaf Logo? Thanks, for your replies. Report this Post to the Staff

1945V Valued Member Canada 386 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 07:11 am 2006 comes in two varieties: 1) 2006 was the last year to have coins made with cupro-nickel and therefore no mint mark. 2) Coins with the mint mark ( RCM) are steel planchets plated with nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 12:56 pm I had this same question a few months ago. It is a CuNi like nickels from the 1980s and 90s. Report this Post to the Staff
1945V Valued Member Canada 386 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 1:01 pm Tiker is correct 2006 is the transition year from P to RCM. All Canadian coins have a minimum of two varieties in 2006. Pennies have eight varieties between no "p", "p", " RCM", steel-copper and zinc-copper types Nickels have the 3 types mentioned by Tiker. Dimes and halves both have "P" and " RCM" types Quarters have both caribou "P" and " RCM" types, Breast Cancer "P" & Medal Bravery " RCM" Loonies have no "P", RCM and Olympic loon No "P" Twonies have both No "P" and RCM for both regular 2006 and 1996-2006 anniversary coins Report this Post to the Staff
