This coin commemorates Canada’s most famous UFO encounter, when Stefan Michalak reported a terrifying close encounter near Falcon Lake, Manitoba in 1967.

⛵ 2007 “Straight 7” & “Curved 7” Canadian Dimes 🇨🇦

Here’s another neat modern variety to watch for! The 2007 Canadian dime was produced with two different styles of the number 7 in the date the Straight 7 (common circulation version) and the Curved 7, which is found mainly in 2007 NBU(Proof-Like) sets from that year.

🧐 How to tell the difference:
Take a close look at the final digit in the date, the 7.

On the Straight 7, both the top bar and the tail are flat and angular.

On the Curved 7, the bottom tail curves smoothly downward, giving it a more rounded appearance.

💰 Values (approximate, NBU grades):

Straight 7: $0.75 – $24+
Curved 7: $0.75 – $29+

While the Curved 7 isn’t considered extremely rare or high-value yet, it’s definitely the scarcer and more interesting variety especially for collectors who enjoy spotting subtle design differences. These coins were not meant for circulation, so your best chance of finding one is in a 2007 NBU or Proof-Like set, though they can occasionally surface in bulk lots or auctions.

Composition: Copper-plated steel (magnetic)
Weight: 1.75 g | Diameter: 18.03 mm | Edge: Reeded
Design: Bluenose schooner by Emanuel Hahn; Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt

A cool, affordable modern variety with solid long-term collector appeal! 🪙
