Canada 150th Anniversary Appraisal

2017 Canada 10-Cent Commemorative Coin (Canada 150)

This is a 2017 Canadian 10-cent circulation coin, specifically minted to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Confederation. The coin is composed of three-ply nickel-finish plated steel, which gives it a bright, silver-toned metallic luster. The reverse side, visible in the image, features a design titled 'Wings of Peace,' which showcases an artistic, stylized maple leaf combined with a peace dove. The inscriptions 'CANADA', '1867-2017', and '10 CENTS' are clearly struck into the metal. Physiologically, the coin has a diameter of 18.03 mm and a weight of approximately 1.75 grams with a reeded edge. The condition appears to be 'About Uncirculated' or 'Extra Fine' showing minor surface contact marks and light scratches consistent with brief circulation. There are no signs of major corrosion or deep gouges visible in this photograph. The craftsmanship reflects the high-precision standards of the Royal Canadian Mint, featuring crisp relief work in the central motif. This specific design was selected from a nationwide fan vote as part of the 'My Canada, My Inspiration' contest, adding a unique cultural layer to its numismatic value.
