Here is a cent struck thru struck clipped planchet. It also has an interesting thing going on at the edge. It appears to be a slight foldover. Not sure though.  |

I like that the error is over a large part of the design. Most errors I've found are extremely minor in comparison.

Is that the jewels of the crown I see in the "mis-struck" area of the reverse? It is a lamination error. Please see the forward jewels and the bangs of the queens hair, but in mirror to the obv.  Edited by coinsrfun

This isn't a lamination error. My coin was struck thru an already struck curved clip that transferred the queens image to my coin. The struck curved clip was stuck to the die and picked up the queens image from being struck into the die just before my strike......then while still adhered to the die, was struck into my coin. The positioning of the image is exactly mirrored to the design image on its reverse.

I must ask this question....how did the "curved clip" get into the collar along with this planchet to eliminate the rim(in 2 places) as well as the denticles?

The denticles are a part of the die. The curved clip coin was between my coin and the die thus preventing the denticles/rim from being struck into my coin. It was adhered to the die so it didn't have to make its way into the collar. It actually appears to have overlapped the edge of the die while being adhered.

Zimmy - any chance at a much bigger photo?
Your explanation seems reasonable enough but there are some question marks in my head.
Also - is that part of the "1" of 1 Cent under the C of CANADA?

That isn't part of the one. It is metal flow lines from what appears to be where the folded metal above it came from.
