mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2752 Posts	Posted 11/19/2013 8:45 pm I strongly suspect it is an assisted error. It's hard to see how a Canadian cent planchet struck with Israeli 10 shekel dies could accidentally make it back into the Canadian cent production stream. Furthermore, it appears that the coin was struck in-collar. The cent planchet should have expanded beneath the 10 shekel dies, making it impossible to fit back into the collar. It's possible that after the 10 shekel strike, the off-metal coin was sent back through the upsetting mill to reduce its diameter once again. Error coin writer and researcher.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15987 Posts	Posted 11/19/2013 8:51 pm I'll go on record with my opinion that this was absolutely an 'assisted' error ... and Fred Weinberg knew that when he sold it. I have no beef with the seller ... just amazed that in todays world of mint security such a dubious 'error' could be made and spirited out for resale.
