2007 CND Dime struck on wrong Country Planchet?

[Zippyslow-migration]

Hey all, First time poster and long time lurker.

Found this one a couple of years back floating in my change.

Knew it was a keeper as I had a local store look at it, and he pounce on it with offers. Said it was probably a Planchet from another Country.

As you can see it is approx 2.55g vs approx 1.79g of a regular dime of similar age.

 

Should I have it graded? Who with? CCCS? or?

Any ideas as to worth? Someone told me about a $1000.00

I understand that these are super rare to find.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Is that a Canadian dime? NGC slabs Canadian coins, might think about giving them a shot. As for value, heck I have no idea. I agree with the fact it most likely was struck on a foreign planchet.

Yes it is a Canadian Dime.

 

Possibly the Planchet was from a 2007 Barbados 1 Cent. 2.5g and 19mm (close enough?)

Someone told me the weight and size are similar to a Canadian Penny... Possibility?

Could it be...

 

Papua New Guinean 5Toea

2.55g

19.53mm

Nickel plated Steel

Which happen to be minted at the RCM!

 

Might have a winner!

Any ideas as to worth when it comes back from certification as being real?
