sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 09:57 am It looks like a piece of aluminium foil may have got itself rolled into the blanking strip. The combined pressure of the rolling, blanking and striking processes has been enough fuse the foil into the surface of the finished coin. That would make this coin a curious and interesting mint error, and perhaps unique. Would be possible to photograph the edge? Report this Post to the Staff

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 12:31 pm I could see it doing that on the rim and the high points but not uniformly across the lowest point of the coin surface where there shouldn't be another coin pressing against it? Report this Post to the Staff
pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 5:18 pm I've seen something similar, too, folcan, on an older coin if I remember correctly. I agree with sel_691, I think something may have attached itself to the blank, although it might just as well have been a thin piece of foil or wire getting into the die itself and then stamped into the coin.
