Delareece Valued Member Canada 101 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 9:49 pm Hey guys, I came across this 1942 Canadian Penny a couple years back. I'm not sure if this is an error coin, or if it is post-mint damage. There appears to be some sort of "lip" or "flake" on the reverse of the coin. Do coins sometimes "flake" like this when being cast? Any opinion is welcomed, Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
