1PPCLI Valued Member Canada 61 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 01:43 am its not an error that I recall from 1962. I think it is some sort of acid or damage to the coin post production of the coin. most errors from 1962 aren't like this. do you have more than one of these in the bag? Report this Post to the Staff

mysterious_dr_x Valued Member Canada 284 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 08:18 am If it was in a mint bag, it hardly can be PMD... if it came out the bag like this, looks like a defective planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
brexzz1 Valued Member Canada 348 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 09:10 am I have gone through about half the bag. This is the only one like this so far. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 09:16 am Just because it came out of a mint bag doesn't mean it's not PMD. A coin can get damaged at the mint after striking. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 10:32 am ..besides all of the obvious possible "planchet flaw damage",...there is a fine DC traversing across the neck. Can't remember seeing DC's across the neck like that before. Cool piece..!! A lot of interesting different defects on that 62 cent. Report this Post to the Staff
