Description

The listing, Commemorative Coin Package; Canada; 2 dollar (Toonie); 1996; + BONUS has ended.

Thank you for browsing.

On February 16, 1996 an era ended in Canada when production of the two dollar bank note ceased; but a new era began only 3 days later, on February 19th, with the introduction of Canada’s newest circulation piece - the two dollar coin; affectionately known to Canadians as the “Toonie”, eh(?).

The winner of this auction will receive one (1) brand new (sealed in original Mint packaging) Canadian 1996 - the first year of issue - two dollar (toonie) coin commemorative package with uncirculated coin. The obverse features (surprise, surprise) Queen Elizabeth II (yawn) and the reverse, the iconically Canadian polar bear. The reverse was designed by artist Brent Townsend from Campbellford, Ontario - that’s less than 250 km from where I live...Ontario, represent! ;-)

This bi-metallic coin has an aluminum-bronze centre and nickel outer ring; diameter: 28.0 mm; weight: 7.3 grams and the mintage was 375,000,000.

PLEASE NOTE – This commemorative coin is still sealed in its original RCM packaging and you will receive the exact coin show in the photos.

BONUS - As an added bonus - because there’s nothing better than twice as much (of anything) - the winner of this auction will also receive one (1) Canadian two dollar banknote (dated 1986, the last dated issue) in uncirculated condition. And, as a extra added bonus, the banknote will come, as shown in the photos, in a bill holder.

Gee....DEAD? I was just hoping you were going to outbid him....or maybe even rough him up a little. But if he's DEAD, I'm down a customer. ;-)

Hey Ron! What the hell? I told you all that in confidence!

Feb 22nd, 2015 at 9:19:15 PM PST by

I thought that meant you were confident in your trash talk about C3PO13 and that I could repeat it with confidence.

Feb 22nd, 2015 at 9:32:20 PM PST by

I would never say anything bad aboot her, she's too powerful in the Listia silver market.

Feb 22nd, 2015 at 9:34:40 PM PST by

Notice the use of Canadian to back peddle? He's getting ready to flee to Canada for asylum if necessary. :-)

Feb 24th, 2015 at 12:41:43 PM PST by

ok, i suppose i over~reacted<i am a woman after all>....ok what is that from....? i can't think of it~hey sug, if you can i'll give ya another coin. Powerful, huh..? nice. you may live .ron~you's a trouble maka. thanks for the pretty sale doll!

Feb 23rd, 2015 at 3:22:19 AM PST by

According to my research - it's from "Hitch". I like the power, though, can you make him do any tricks?

"Trouble maka"? I like to think of myself more as a trouble enabler. ;-)

Feb 24th, 2015 at 12:45:41 PM PST by

ehhhh. wrong my friend~though i do love hitch, james got it right. <i figured it out 1st though lol> it's from 'the other guys'..... "she over~reacted, she is a woman".... frickin hilarious!! love that movie~top 10 without a doubt! must-see

Feb 24th, 2015 at 12:49:37 PM PST by

But isn't "Nottinghill" that movie with Hugh (I'd rather hang myself than watch him try to ape his way through a movie) Grant?

Personally I say "Serendipity"...at least Cusack can act. :-)

Feb 24th, 2015 at 1:14:51 PM PST by

Why must you tempt me so? You know how much I love toonies.

Feb 8th, 2015 at 11:38:10 PM PST by

You know me - I like to tease. And since I like rubbing salt in the wound, this is the last set of these I have left.

Feb 10th, 2015 at 3:49:38 PM PST by

Adding insult to injury, huh? I expect nothing less.

Feb 10th, 2015 at 4:29:06 PM PST by

True I'm salting the wound a little but, wouldn't your rather know up front than lose out and find out, after the fact, that I didn't have any more? ;-)

Feb 10th, 2015 at 4:42:14 PM PST by

No, I appreciate knowing. I wouldn't have it any other way. I want to bid, but my top priority is that silver volunteers coin.

Feb 10th, 2015 at 4:43:49 PM PST by

Yes, the dime is a very sweet coin and, if you consider the low mintage on it, is (in my most humble opinion) a keeper with some nice long term upside.

Feb 11th, 2015 at 4:09:13 PM PST by

very nice auction, eh? lol... i like your write~up! but i wouldn't dare take it from my good friend sugmoff

Feb 20th, 2015 at 12:26:45 PM PST by

Thank you for browsing and your kind hoser speak. :-)

You have my admiration - after all the trash talk Sugmoff's been speaking about you lately - I think it's great that you'd still hold off on an auction, for his sake. Especially after he called you a girlie girl and was saying he could beat you at anything - including Listia auctions. ;-)

Feb 22nd, 2015 at 8:54:34 PM PST by

Yeah, I can take a savage beating but dead is a little much.

Feb 22nd, 2015 at 9:31:42 PM PST by

Hmmm....the question is - how replaceable are you? ;-)

Feb 24th, 2015 at 12:40:34 PM PST by

I've always ready to flee to Canada. It's not due to fear, it's for the pursuit of happiness.

Feb 24th, 2015 at 12:43:56 PM PST by

Great band - "I'm an Adult Now"....but not something I think is any more attainable (sans the health care) here, over there.

Give me a little more time....I'll have the safety factor at the top of your list. ;-)

Feb 24th, 2015 at 1:11:03 PM PST by

very nice

Feb 15th, 2015 at 11:54:22 AM PST by

Thank you - love the avatar. :-)

Feb 15th, 2015 at 9:57:43 PM PST by

The only thing that comes to mind is that cheesy quote from Notting Hill. If that isn't it, I should still get part credit just for ever sitting through that awful movie.

Feb 23rd, 2015 at 11:03:22 AM PST by

As it appears your guess is wrong....NO COMMENT + FOR YOU!

You're lucky there's not a minus option.

Feb 24th, 2015 at 12:47:46 PM PST by

F&W please fan back

Feb 25th, 2015 at 5:03:48 AM PST by

This will easily eclipse 20,000+ credits, great auction once again but I already have these items as an intermediate to advanced coin collector!

Feb 26th, 2015 at 2:07:06 PM PST by

The two dollar bill is currently selling for $400,000 on kijiji and eBay just so other bidders and the seller know :)
