Narrative:

I was providing OJT instruction to a trainee. He was coordinating 4 or 5 estimates to the adjacent ARTCC. The adjacent ARTCC read back the first 4 estimates correctly. When we were coordinating aircraft X; we coordinated the time and altitude on the strip. The adjacent center controller hesitated for a few seconds on this particular estimate; and read back a different time. I missed the readback. I do not know why I missed it.in other ATC software flight plan processing; if you try to enter an estimate into the system that was 5 hours in the past; you will get a reject message. Apparently atop (oceanic ATC flight plan processing) does not do this. There should be a logic check about what kind of times they can enter into the system to prevent them from entering wildly inaccurate times. That would help. On my part; I should not place too much faith in a trainee; ever. Complacency happens to instructors.
