Description

The listing, Rare Coin; Canada; 5 cent; 1967; “Hopping Rabbit’ Confederation Centennial; Die Rotation Error has ended.

Thank you for browsing.

If you’ve seen my other auctions, you know I have a thing for “the bunny” and recently purchased a mint roll. While putting a few in coin flips, I was (at first) upset with myself for not putting this coin in straight; but quickly realized it was the coin, not me, that was the problem. My research netted only mention of an error on the 1967 dime and quarter, I could find nothing at all for the nickel...with the exception of an eBay auction for one in a slab with a 90 degree die rotation error.

The winner of this auction will receive one (1) 1967 Canadian 5 cent (nickel) coin - freshly removed from a mint roll (5th pic). This coin has a 20 degree counter-clockwise die rotation error (see comparison, 3rd and 4th pics). The metal composition is 99.9% nickel; diameter of 21.21mm; weight 4.54 grams and mintage was 37,000,000. As I could find no information, I am unsure of how many of these error coins were circulated but, based on that lack of information, I’m thinking that it’s rare.

Despite what my friends and I believed (wished), when we were wee boys, there is absolutely no scientific evidence that this coin will bring you fame, fortune or Farrah Fawcett. ;-) But then, there’s no proof that it won’t either. But maybe it’s the rare die rotation that brings all the luck… ;-)

PLEASE NOTE - You will receive the exact coin shown in the photos, but only the die rotation error coin, normal uncirculated coin is for comparison purposes only. Mention of “fame, fortune and FF” for entertainment purposes only - no guarantee is implied or warranted by the seller. Coin easel NOT included.

again sorry for causing any drama

No problem. I get a little cranky and short (sometimes) due to past dealings with Listian Trolls. Though you will find them in brilliant uncirculated condition, I was only able to find one that has a die rotation error - making this coin rare and highly collectible to someone who prizes these types of error coins. Thank you for browsing.

Thank you for your kind words and question. So far, I've just got the $2 bank note that's combined in an auction with the inaugural "Toonie"...but I'm (now) working on it. :-)

I know it's not the same but, I've got some Canadian Tire money coming up very soon - inspired by the inquiry of another Listian.

found a coin like yours with a 90% valued at $2995.00 not sure what yours would bring.

Oct 2nd, 2014 at 12:15:19 AM PDT by

Wowsers! The only one I could find was the 90 degree rotation coin (slabbed) on eBay...and I thought he was crazy asking $600+... :-)

24. Rotated Die
This error can be caused by two reasons :

One of the die was improperly aligned during the installation
One of the die was too slack during the striking process and turned on its axis

Thank you, very much, for the excellent information. :-)

Perhaps, you may wish to reread this auction and compare it to the ones you found on eBay?

Oct 4th, 2014 at 7:37:36 AM PDT by

i did compare

Oct 4th, 2014 at 12:31:44 PM PDT by

And do you know the difference?

Oct 4th, 2014 at 12:45:29 PM PDT by

what u mean the difference same coin on ebay

Oct 4th, 2014 at 12:51:57 PM PDT by

Please try reading all the information, instead of wasting my time. They are not the same. If you don't understand what a die rotation error is, perhaps try a Google search.

Oct 4th, 2014 at 12:55:56 PM PDT by

sorry manson i was just saying thats what i found them going as on ebay did mean to waste anyones time
