Enyaw Valued Member Canada 342 Posts	Posted 09/13/2023 10:45 am I was going through some coins my Grandfather left me and I noticed indentations around some of the numbers and letters on this 1920 5 cents coin. Most pronounced on the last A of Canada and the 2 in the date. What would cause this? Report this Post to the Staff

Enyaw Valued Member Canada 342 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 5:20 pm Thanks for the feedback. It's not a perfect fit but with some rotation and movement down and right it gets close. Maybe it's just my imagination and tarnish as mentioned? Report this Post to the Staff
