One would think JM would have such a unit to test the bullion they are buying, with composition it will help narrow search.

I would say a split planchet strike. The planchet didn't split evenly and this is the thicker of the 2 so there is enough metal to have a reasonable strike produced.IMHO. nice find!

Looks too uniform for a split planchet.

I think its a rolled thin planchet that escaped. IMO

Last time I saw a coin like that it was an acid job but it looks well defined. I'd need a real close picture.

I like it. Makes me want to go search some more rolls.

I am scratching my head on this one... usually coins struck on split or thin planchets lack detail, because the dies are set up to strike coins of a certain thickness (and to avoid clashing the dies). Definitely not an acid coin, and it looks legit, I just cannot explain the strong strike...

Zoomed in and sharpened I do notice weakness in the areas with the arrows & Canada. Kind of odd that 1 is so wide in 1-cent. Some flatness on the obverse too in Elizabeth and adjacent beads. Just an observation  |

Phone JM ask if they have the XRF or who might have in your area, then for sure you can match year and composition, it looks like you found a penny on foreign planchet or something cooler, or could be on thin Canadian planchet which is cooler, or contact SPP Ottawa if he would do it for you.

They are one of the larger bullion dealer in Vancouver one would think anyone in this business will have an unit due to many fakes, anyone in the bullion dept should be able to help.
