Your prefix is a good one.
There where only 80,000 printed with *H/F.
Hard to tell condition from those pictures but could be
worth in the 100's if uncirculated.

For the third time NO!!

There is no way that could be plating from the mint. The planchets (blanks) that the mint strikes these coins from are plated before being struck. If by some small chance there was a bit of extra plating on the planchet, it would have been flattened with the pressure of the strike. The fact that wha...

I agree.
Whatever it is, it wasn't done at the mint. PMD

If as you say now that it may have a core, this eliminates any chance of it being struck on a Loonie planchet. As the core of a Toonie is mainly copper, ...

Hi Darkstrike- Very nice and rare find. From what I can see, you have a Toonie that was struck on a Loonie planchet. That is the 3rd one that I have seen. (One was in BC so I guess they travelled coast to coast.) The "smoothness" was caused by a weak strike on a thinner and smaller diamete...
