randomasu Valued Member Canada 53 Posts	Posted 04/28/2013 02:54 am Going through a bag of about 300 Canadian nickels last night I found this one. What's with the 9 in the date? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/28/2013 03:05 am that the coin is a weirdo. Canadian nickels are NOT one of my strengths, BUT from the picture of that '9', it looks as though either the die or the coin has been worked on. Why re work the '9'? The '6' or more probably the '1' perhaps, but I don't understand the '9'! I stand to learn. Report this Post to the Staff
randomasu Valued Member Canada 53 Posts	Posted 04/28/2013 03:17 am I have no clue either! If it was PMD, you'd think that upturned part could be picked off the coin or something. How could it rotate that far and not detach? And wouldn't there be a lot of damage where it was moved from? Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 04/28/2013 08:47 am I've seen a couple of other coins like this with the same effect, one a nickel and the other a penny. Kind of a neat novelty, but no added value IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 04/29/2013 7:43 pm In my opinion, it looks like a mint error. I have seen alot of images of nickel errors but nothing like this. So if this this is a mint error it could be worth more than it is already. It is collection worthy. Report this Post to the Staff
