Its a loon dollar. Quote: Cool, do you have photos too. I have some scans that I did a while ago. (They are not very good) Anyone have an idea what this is worth?

Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 5:40 pm The loon dollar looks like it's struck on a blank larger than a cent planchet. What's it's weight? Is it magnetic? Other possibilities would be - struck on a blank intended for a foreign coin, or an elliptical clipped dollar blank. I'm not sure what it's worth. Hundreds. A nice big error coin!

I think it was just flattened out when it was struck. Quote: What's it's weight? Is it magnetic Unfortunately, I don't have a scale to weigh the coin that would be accurate enough, and the coin is not magnetic. Quote: Other possibilities would be - ... or an elliptical clipped dollar blank. Could you expand on this? I am not sure what an elliptical clipped dollar blank is. Report this Post to the Staff
Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 08/03/2011 1:49 pm An elliptical clip error is the result of a blank that has been accidentally clipped into a football shape. Your coin being non-magnetic probably rules out the elliptical clip option. Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 08/04/2011 7:23 pm OK, Thanks Scissel. Does anyone know what my coin is worth? Report this Post to the Staff
canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 08/05/2011 01:26 am I'd guess $500-$750. Possibly a bit more if it really catches someone's fancy :) Report this Post to the Staff
