It's an indent with a partial brockage, probably on a wrong planchet too. The raised rim is typical of indent errors so it's almost certainly not struck against an elliptical clip. Your next job Shane is to work out where it was minted, find out what other coins they minted that year and work out what planchet it was struck on. Nice error :)

I will stick to my original opinion that it was struck through an elliptical clip - though it shares a likeness to a partial brockage, there are subtleties that differentiate it from one.
Additionally, the indent does not remove any metal from the coin. The coin that it was struck through, displaced the metal. It should weigh the same now as it did before it was struck.

I totally agree with ErrorCoin222. If you got an email from error-ref.com then thats what it is, these people are some of the best error experts in the world. As for the planchet it may well be rolled thick or possibly wrong planchet. If it was struck in Canada then you can check this site which tells you weight and size and more, of coins struck in Canada for other countries. http://www.coinscan.com/for/foreign.html |

so I guess multi error coins are rare I don't have to many errors quote (Additionally, the indent does not remove any metal from the coin. The coin that it was struck through, displaced the metal. It should weigh the same now as it did before it was struck.) I just spent all day filling down a 5 cent coin to fit in the indent so I can work out roughly how much metal is missing and get a weight and wow the Canadian mint minted some coins. what a list sometime I wish I didn't bring this stuff home.  if there is a collar why is it so wide around the rim on the good side. you can see the coins side by side why the difference wouldn't the collar hold it in place and stop it from spreading and the coins are the same size but the rims are different  |

You need to be looking at planchets that weigh the same in the same material to determine what the wrong planchet might be. The coin is struck against an already struck coin -indent with brockage. Similar to this dollar struck against (probably) a blank 5c.  or this threepence. They both don't have a brockage because the struck against coin was blank.  Edited by the-purple-penny

This is an American 1 cent Broadstrike, Indent with a Brockage,notice the similar characteristics. Not great pics but good enough to see what I'm talking about.   |
