In 2001, I purchased a Canadian major mint error collection that included a few previously unknown types of mint errors. Included in this collection was a unique Canadian Cent (two-tailed) struck with two reverse dies. At the time this was thought to be an impossible mint error. My discovery of this unique Canadian two-tailed Cent was featured in a front page Coin World article. I sent it to PCGS for authentication and certification along with another previously unknown major mint error.

This other previously unknown type of major mint error was a mule. It is a Canadian Dime struck with a Canadian Cent reverse die. The discovery of these two types of mint errors made headline news in the numismatic community since there was finally tangible proof that mules and two-headed/two-tailed coins existed. I also submitted this mule to PCGS and it was authenticated and certified MS 62. I placed it in a major collection and just recently was fortunate enough to reacquire it. In my book, World's Greatest Mint Errors, I dedicated an entire chapter to these two mint error types. It is fascinating that an authenticated and certified Canadian coin has two different designs from two different denominations.
