Wolf705247 New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 11:32 am Hey I am pretty certain I have a coin that was struck on only one side , I believe two coins entered the striking chamber at once . Resulting in both outsides of the coins being struck leaving the insides blank. Edited by Wolf705247 12/14/2018 1:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Wolf705247 New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 1:03 pm Weight is 2.7 grams ( 2.667g to be exact ) Report this Post to the Staff
Wolf705247 New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 1:11 pm Does anyone have an idea of what this coin is worth I can't seem to find any information about another one like it ? Report this Post to the Staff
BCTokens Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 1:40 pm Hi, The portrait is the one used 1965-1978. The correct weight during this period is 3.24 grams. Given the weight of your example, I would suspect post mint damage, i.e. somebody filed off the image on the other side. Jan Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Pillar of the Community Canada 8067 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 1:50 pm Sorry but not an error. Lack of rim on Reverse indicates that coin has been ground down. The weight indicates that it is lighter than normal due to the removal of the devices. Edited by JimmyD 12/14/2018 1:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nfine Pillar of the Community United States 1951 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 1:57 pm Quote: I'm not sure what you mean by raised edge If you look at the obverse (Queen side) of the coin you'll see a rim around the outside of the coin. I was asking if you saw the same on the blank side. Report this Post to the Staff

Wolf705247 New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 7:10 pm I don't believe it has be filed down I believe it was struck in 1980-1981 when they reduced the weight. Report this Post to the Staff
Wolf705247 New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 7:13 pm No there is no rim on the flat blank side. There wouldn't be a rim if it had struck two blank planchets at the same time you would not see an edge. Report this Post to the Staff

Talonbat Valued Member Canada 360 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 8:37 pm The design that is on that coin is from 1979, 1980, 1981 with corresponding weights of 3.24, 2.8, 2.8. No matter what the coin is underweight. The coin rimming happens before the strike so it should be on both sides. If by some miracle two blanks somehow got in the chamber the collar would not be able to engage which would result in a broadstrike which this is not. Normally when you get a "uniface" coin it either made to be uniface, a trial/pattern, or a strike through die cap(you would see some ghosting at the very least). Hopefully an error expert can also chime in. Report this Post to the Staff
