lahave56 Valued Member Canada 340 Posts	Posted Today 2H 42M ago Found this while sorting pennies today. It's all PMD but I was wondering if anyone recognizes the stippling around the Queen's bust or the type of stamping of the obverse and reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

I wasn't sure if the back-back C might have some significance but that's just my mind working overtime. The stippling looks like it might be some type of corrosion about to bust through but the coin otherwise looks to be in decent shape from that standpoint. Thanks for looking!

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21966 Posts	Posted Today 1H 21M ago That stippling is probably from the 3 being punched on the reverse. If you look at the right hand leaf, you can see something similar from the 1 being punched on the obverse. That compressed copper has to go somewhere. Report this Post to the Staff

As I think someone on here said "I'll keep it with my odds and sods". Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 17035 Posts	Posted Today 39M ago Does it mean anything? Well, it's entirely possible that it did have some kind of meaning to whoever it was that did the stamping. But since they're not around any more to ask, we'll now never know. Functionally, the result is no different from the alternative answer, "no, it was always completely meaningless, just random punches randomly stamped onto a random piece of metal that just happens to be a 1 cent piece". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
