akdrv Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 VANCOUVER - The Royal Canadian Mint's new line of 2010 Olympic coins has proven very popular. But a couple of mistakes - known as "mules" to coin collectors - have sent the value of some coins soaring. A 2007 quarter for Paralympic curling is supposed to come with the Paralympic logo on the other side of the coin, beside a portrait of the Queen. But in some Olympic coin sets, the Paralympic curling coin has the Olympic logo on the obverse. A subtle mistake, but one that's fetching big bucks. "It's worth about $400 right now for a set including the Paralympic mule," said Brian Grant Duff of The Bay Coins and Stamps in downtown Vancouver. "Normally it would retail in the $25 range." http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...d13d&k=4861 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
