Hello,

a local auctioneer asked me if this coin would be valuable and why letters and digits are missing...
icould detect a very faint digit 4 with a loupe, but am not sure
I have never seen a similar coin before.
any Ideas?
thanks

Or the digit was weakly struck when the coin was minted, or the die was poorly made. The last A in CANADA is weakly struck and the TS in CENTS appears missing. With a stereoscopic microscope, you can at times detect different heights to letters. In fact, this is why you will often see ejection doubling on some letters but not others - its because of uneven heights in the letters. This is a nice variety though.
