2004 and 2005 CPZ 1c coins are probably the most common modern dates to see cool errors. The zinc is pretty soft and malleable, and allows for some spectacular rim finning.
Equally impressive that it circulated. Good catch.

Hi chadcoins,
Is that a strikethrough over the date and left maple leaf?
What about that thing just left of 1 CENT, on DA of CANADA and above the initials K.G. it all looks like more finning/layering that got stuck into the coin but stayed red or is it something else?
Please tell me before my brain breaks from trying to figure it out myself.

Hunter - all the anomalies you asked about are all strike throughs and most have curvature structures. Yes the right hand side of the coin has 4 different layers of rim beads.

The D and A of CANADA are in a deep curved bottom grove connecting to the original flat plane of the face of the coin. Lets focus on the D of CANADA You can see the 4 strikes but interesting results. Strike 1 and 2 at the bottom of the D are raised. The upper strike 1 and 2 got cancelled. Strike 3 and 4 on the upper part of the D looks like a double die. I can't get over how well the strikes are in the deep grove.  |

Nickelsguy - tried to get a picture of the II for you , as you said the fin is folded over nicely just like a blanket over the coin.  |

When I look at your very first picture I'd swear that all the things I asked about are bulging out. Makes me wonder how different the coin must look in person. Thank You!

Strike 3 and 4 on the upper part of the D looks like a double die. I can't get over how well the strikes are in the deep grove. So that means the strikethrough in this area happened on the third strike pushing the bottom half of the D into a groove and saving it from getting smooshed by the fourth strike. Edited by Hunter

That's one of the coolest errors I've seen!
I dream about finding stuff like that, but obviously you'd put eyes on a lot more coins by coin roll hunting.

Had to get this coin hard slabbed with CCCS due to the sharp edge. Here is the results.  |

Looks nice in the slab, chadcoins. Errers and Varietys.

It must have been tricky for CCCS to grade this coin. Are you happy with the AU-50?
