Ever seen a fold over strike? This is what happens when the planchet doesn't fold but instead goes shooting out of the press as the dies try to strike it.

Copper or zinc?
What is the weight?

Ever seen a fold over strike? Actually I've never seen one. If anyone has a picture of one I would love to see it. I've seen fold over lamination strikes but never saw just a fold over strike. Thanks |

Copper or zinc? Copper-plated zinc, you can see some of the zinc core exposed on the struck edges. Quote:

What a great error! I've only seen 4 or 5 edge strikes and this is the best I've seen!  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Thanks for the weight. I just noticed this. Why did you post the image of the reverse edge upside down?  Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

SPP-Ottawa, you mentioned you were sending this coin into PCGS... I assume you have learned they are closed until the coronavirus blows over? I'd like to see how PCGS handles this error. Please share things here once you get this unusual coin back from them. |

Probably dropped in the chamber standing up, and then struck. That how I could see this happen.

Yup, it will be in my next batch of coins going to PCGS. Certifying and grading errors is expensive, so I have been patient waiting for a better exchange rate with the US-CAN dollar. Since I first posted this, the rate has gained favourably. $0.82 now, compared to $0.72 this time last year. It adds up when sending in a batch of 20 errors.

Any one still saving their Canadian Cents? I have over a 1000 of them. Almost a roll of some years. in the early 1940's to 60's.

Most Canadian shops have gotten out of the habit of dealing with cents, they look at them as a pain! They collect them and turn them into their banks who in turn give them back to the mint, taking them out of circulation. Sell them to me or another CCF member, help to save those cents! I m in Ohio (for now) and would gladly trade you for them! |
