I sort of like that edging with the little indentations. If I remember right, weren't some of the Canadian Nickels like that. If the Mint sees this, it many give them an idea for the next series.

Thing is I thought I had done my homework first before posting. I always research first before doing any such thing. Have never been a big collector but am always looking. found a wheat yesterday so worn couldnt read it.

Paul! Not sure why it is thinner, other than a minor difference in thickness for a planchet. You'd have to weight it, to see if it is within tolerance. It is quite banged up though. Maybe that is why they left it?  |

Looks like it spent some time in a clothes dryer.
That is likely how it got the dents.
