Definitely PMD with someone having time on their hands. Not even close to a Canada replicate.

It would take only 30 seconds to make that on a grinder.

This cent was struck on a CENT planchet. Then it fell into the hands of some EVIL Dood with idle hands and a grinder. (If only his sister had more intact dolls that were ready to be be-headed or melted, then this coin would have been saved from this torture)

PMD
The planchets used for 12 sided coins, such as 1982-1996 Canadian cents, are round.
It' s the 12 sided collar that gives the coin its shape when struck.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Damaged coin. The weight will be slightly less than normal. It was a normal strike coin and the outer edge was altered and filed down. Just a spender cull coin now.

I would agree with Dearborn's description. It's another tortured coin.
Also, that is a cool perch under it. Pretty small gear!

Just to clear up the weight issue, I calibrate my scale with a 100g weight often and I checked multiple examples to be sure. I an with everyone on the PMD, just wanted to set aside any doubt that my scales were wrong. Thanks again everyone for the help

Well coins are not weight post strike. (Except for gold coins) there is a tolerance for coins:

+ and - tolerance weights are below the chart.

I see what you are saying for sure, I definitely didn't mean anything by my reply, it just had me intrigued because at 3.24g, it is right at the threshold according to the chart and since it has been shaved/cut or whatever the case may be, it seems like it would have been underweight instead of over. I just wish I could have come across it before it was tampered with to see what it weighed originally.

Intentional post mint damage. Not even well done.

Yep. Some PSD.

Have you apologized to your sister yet for experimenting on her dolls?
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
