Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 08/19/2012 11:03 am I'm sure someone may have a clue, but a picture might help. In general I know coins can be put on the wrong planchet...and during the war there were some changes. I think for me a pic would help for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

1945V Valued Member Canada 386 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 5:03 pm I have seen coins get plated with other metals with no human interaction. A while back ago, I was at an artificial pond that was emptied for maintenance and in it I found many pennies and several quarters that appeared to be silver at first. The action of the sediment in the pond wore away the dates on the quarters, so all I could see was the large QE2 obverse (i.e.1965-1978) and faint caribous. When I brought the quarters home, I confirmed with the magnet test that they were not silver, but silver plated nickel quarters. I suspect there was silver coins somewhere in the pond and that impurities in the pond setup the right conditions for electroplating the nickel coins with silver. Report this Post to the Staff
CanadianCollector Valued Member Canada 306 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 10:17 pm I have one of these too. A 1945! I think this coin may be the victim of science class or as someone already said, used as a necklace. Mine even has a hole drilled in exactly the same spot as yours. Report this Post to the Staff
