Welcome to Coins and Canada

Pictures are a little out of focus but they could be a Die Strike.
Are the lines raised or Incuse?

incused i think rear of bear has visible raised lines and the ice and bear head seems recessed, just looks like a reverse bear stamp core perfectly around detail and under the queen

From what you tell me, it sounds like what you have is a Die CLASH (I mistakenly said Strike on my previous post)
on each of your Toonies. There might be a small premium for them to anyone that collects Die Clashes.

I really don't see what you are mentioning. The pics are too blurry. The coins are struck with the core already intact so a clash that is seen would be elsewhere on the coin as well, even maybe the lettering. But sometimes clashes are only evident on a small portion of a coin, but I see nothing.
