I'm not very familiar with error coins as I only have a few. It looks to me like the copper plating has peeled off of the outer part of the coin, including the edge. Any insight would be appreciated. edit: slightly better pictures uploaded. Edited by middross 11/30/2012 10:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

middross Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 11/30/2012 4:17 pm I don't think so, as the diameter seems to be the same as a normal penny. Report this Post to the Staff
