The one that I got Sanong, is from a proof like set.   |

But, Does this toonie - the 2006 uncrowned double date polar bear reverse ISSUED FOR CIRCULATION really exist? According to my (German) world coin catalog it does not exist. The coin you mentioned -- the one in the very nice photo above this post -- was in sets only. The 1996-2006 double date toonie issued for circulation is the one with the Polar Bear looking up to the Aurora Borealis and the dates on top. Edited by redlock

Agree, Redlock. I don't think it (2006 double date NORMAL BEAR reverse for circulation) exist either. The only 2006 double date for circulation one is the Churhill bear you mentioned. Just curious why the Charlton Catalogue (most popular here) keep "making mistake"?

Johnny1328, thanks for posting the pic. The double date at bottom toonie appears now and then on ebay for reasonable prices and I'll nab it then. It's the one of the 4 I'm missing for 2006. SILDOL, yikes! That's pricey. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/GOLD-2006-2-COM...t_500wt_1039This thread is getting more and more interesting.

_1999 bear

_2000 (does this exist?) -- yes it does, as we have established
_2000 W (mintage 117,318)
_2000 Path of Knowledge
I am not sure whether the figure for the 2000 W Polar Bear Toonie is correct. I got the information some time ago that the "117.318" is the mintage for the 1999 Polar Bear Toonie. For the two Polar Bear versions of 2000, I have a combined mintage figure of 186.986. If someone knows how many of the 2000 "W" were minted and how many of the one without the "W" do not hesitate to tell it here... Edited by redlock

redlock, I found my information at this site: http://www.jandm.com/script/getitem...CID=3&PID=41I see I mistyped, it states the 1999 has a mintage of 117,318. The 2000W has the mintage amount of 186,986. It doesn't mention of a 2000 non-W, non-Knowledge coin so that's why I was questioning it. Thanks for your response. I've updated and corrected my list on my computer.

After reading the Annual Reports and the quarterly magazines... Sent: 04/27/2012 To: Royal Canadian MintHello. I have been unable to determine if there is a 1996-2006 circulation "tradtional" toonie with the double date at the bottom of the coin. Quoting from your website, "In celebration of the 10th anniversary of its introduction, the two-dollar circulation coin was produced in two versions: the first honouring the traditional Polar Bear design...and the second featuring his updated pose....It is important to note the position of the 1996-2006 double date on each coin: the traditional bear design shows the date beneath the effigy of Her Majesty, while the updated bear shows the date above the effigy." That said, I cannot locate, anywhere on your site or in your annual publications, where you indicate that the double date 'circulation' coin does in fact exist with both date locations. Do both exist in circulation issues? Sincerely, xxxxx Reply from the RCMApril 27, 2012 - Dear xxxx, Thank you for contacting the Royal Canadian Mint. With regards to your inquiry, please note that both coins do exist. There are also pictures of the two versions of the coins beside the paragraph. |

Actually the german planchett ERRORs that list there aren't really part of the series, but getting a german planchett toonie would count. ICCS doesn't grade them below MS 62, because there is very, VERY little difference between a canadian planchett and german planchett below that grade. It's all about lustre, it's different on the german one :) The 1996 German Planchet strike is definitely not classified as an error. They were business strikes, struck at the Winnipeg Mint in early 2006. Mint boxes dated past the end of March, will not contain German Planchets (pers. comm. J.F.). Secondly, as of late 2011, ICCS no longer certifies and distinguishes between German and Canadian planchets. I spoke with Brian last December, and he said it is too difficult to do it quickly and consistently, especially with Canadian planchets with strong die polishing.

I would like to ask if a 2006 uncrowned single lower date is common or not, and its mintage.
