Crockett Valued Member Canada 89 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 11:08 am I pulled this while CRH. Bottom right seems to be either planchet damage or struck through something. top looks as though is was struck with another coin, maybe? Left side looks struck through, but the top left has some lines. I hope the pics are clear enough to see. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you HH Dave Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 11:15 am The images are tough, that said......PMD I think as the elements of the "second" strike appear incuse. The shape distortion and damage to the reverse of original strike is consistent with a "estwing (hammer) error. Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 1:12 pm I'm not sure of the die rotation of coins from Canada, but do know that the indent area on the top photo should have strong die strike on the reverse side of the indent as that was the high point as the planchet was struck into a coin... The other photos look like PMD to me, and I don't know where the obverse indent area is on the reverse side... Report this Post to the Staff
Crockett Valued Member Canada 89 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 3:17 pm Broken-Coin, the reverse on Canadian coins are if I'm not mistaken is medal strike. so top left on the reverse, is the top right on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 6:03 pm I hope I'm wrong, but IMO it looks like someone simply overlaid 2 pennies and then took a big ole sledge hammer to them. The flat area of the obverse might be where the flat of the hammer head hit the coin. That also might explain some of the "out-of-round" distortion the penny has. Sure would be sweet if it was authentic mint damage though. Report this Post to the Staff
