middross Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 12:09 pm I found this yesterday. I'm pretty sure that it is a mint error with PMD as well. Any help explaining what it is that I have found is greatly appricated. Report this Post to the Staff

54dollarcoin Valued Member Canada 475 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 12:52 pm looks like a PMD machine shop vise job. Way too much going on for a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
errorone2012 Valued Member Canada 334 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 1:27 pm Looks like an off center error which was then beaten up . Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 8:45 pm Not a broadstrike. Struck off-centre, then, someone really beat that coin with an ugly stick. The flattening at the bottom of the coin is post-mint damage (remember, the coin would have been rimmed, as normal, prior to the off-centre strike) and then someone tried to hammer down the left side of the reverse off-centre lip, and obliterating the obverse beads on the opposite side by doing so.

middross Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 9:51 pm I knew that there was a lot of damage post mint. So far this is the only off centre strike that I have found. I'll keep it until a better one comes my way. Thanks everybody for confirming my thoughts on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Also, sometimes error coins are found only when they get stuck in a coin counting machine. That would explain the damage. - JFK - Report this Post to the Staff
