Wow, I notice the bluenose, the copper under the sails. It gives the illusion that the deck's on fire and the flames are also reflecting in areas of the sky around the parameter of the sails.
That's a spectacular foreign planchet error!

One of my favorite errors that I dug out of safekeeping to look at:   It is a real beauty of a coin, my second favorite of my whole collection  |

 Fenian to the forum. Not sure but that looks like a vise job. Edit - my error Edited by SilverDon

Nope. That looks legit to me.
That is an almost full reverse brockage, and an early one too. It does have the ghosting of the queen, probably from the anvil die cap. 2005 is the easy year to find 25c coins off-centred and broadstruck. Is yours also broadstruck Fenian (does it have any reeding)?

@SPP_Ottawa I had a chance to look at it and it has full normal reeding on the edge. I am contemplating hitting the RCNA convention this year, I may have to bring some goodies along. |

Another one, sorry for the poor photo but this one is currently in the SDB.  2006 loonie with no aureate plating. |

And the 1972, is that a mule? I feel like that obverse started in 73
