Mules discovered among 2007 Mint sets

A couple of sharp-eyed collectors have discovered a mule error in the Royal Canadian Mint’s 2007 sets.

The error coin couples the wheelchair curling 25-cent piece reverse with the Queen Elizabeth II obverse sporting the Olympic logo.

The wheelchair curling coins are supposed to have the Paralympic logo on the obverse.

Both Leo Wagenaar of B.C., and Kevin Mosher of Quebec, purchased their Special Edition Uncirculated Coin Sets directly from the Mint. The sets contain the circulating 1-, 5-, 10- and 50-cent coins, the loonie and toonie, plus the five Olympic 25-cent coins for 2007 (hockey, wheelchair curling, biathlon, curling and downhill skiing).

I looked around Halifax with no luck. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Some have been spotted on ebay going for a “mint”.
