2017 2 Dollars (Toonie) Commemorative "VIMY 100th ANNIVERSARY"

BU (MS-62) CHOICE

Description of the room

This 2017 Canadian $2 coin (Toonie) is a special commemorative issue celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge (1917-2017). The reverse design features the Canadian National Vimy Memorial.

Its certification with the MS-62 (Mint State 62) grade places it in the lower "CHOICE" category. It is a good quality uncirculated coin. However, it shows a noticeable number of contact marks and dents on the field and relief, more easily visible flaws that place it just above basic coin status.
