I've figured out how to post a video. I will upload the video of this coin on youtube tomorrow, with close ups of the coin & its circle, pressing it with my finger, using a hammer to whack it, etc. I really wanna know what you guys think about this.

To Mr Hondo: No, actually, I've banged it with a hammer, pressed on it with my fingers, and that circle does not pop out. If I could figure out how to add a video to this post, I can show you in great detail how well fixed into the coin the circle is. It has not been fully pushed through, based on my observations. There is a couple mm indentation, and a couple mm projection on each side of it, but if it were fully removed, and put back in, whoever did this must be extremely talented at welding tiny things together without a trace.

Hey y'all, I'm a cashier, and my boss is cool enough to let me swap one of my own regular coins with a cool one I find in the register, so I end up with a lot of interesting change. This one though, I can't find any info on it online, and neither can my boyfriend.

It was definitely minted like this, with the indentation and upside down-ness of the Queen's head and the caribou's antlers. If it had been damaged post production, then her face wouldn't be upside down inside of the indentation right?

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this, cz I'm so curious and I totally want to know. Is it worth anything? (Even if it's worth a hundred, I will be keeping it, cz its so cool.) Has anyone ever seen this before? Is it rare, or just a junky minting job? Nobody I've talked to IRL has seen one like this, so I figured I should come ask here. All my other wierd coins I've been able to find info about online, but this quarter has no answers about it anywhere as far as I've seen.

Thanks everybody!!!
