Occasionally, one of these gets mixed up with something it shouldn't, and the result is a coin with mismatched sides; for example, a coin with two obverses, or a special edition obverse with a regular circulation reverse. These are called \"mules,\" named after the animal, who are the \"mismatched\" offspring of donkeys and horses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn and around 2007, the Royal Canadian Mint produced a series of sports quarters running up to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The Alpine Skiing quarter has a mule variety, where the reverse is struck with a 2008 date rather than the proper 2007. Unusually, the mule is actually the common version; about 40,000 mules were struck before the error was noticed and the date was switched to 2007. This pair includes one of each: the 2008-dated mule and the 2007-dated scarce variant. Both come in their collector's cards, but only the mule is sealed.","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52952919408929,"sku":"July.Week3.P1-KB2050","price":199.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/KB2050.jpg?v=1783441078","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/julw3-kb2050","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
