numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 01/20/2014 8:44 pm Found this. Looks like brokerage but there is crimping at the top and bottom. There are also two small circular depressions on the reverse that went through to the obverse. The coin has medallic alignment. The coin weighs 7.43 grams. Not sure what the actual weight of one of these would be. Ideas? Edited by numismatist6 01/20/2014 8:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

shark38ksw Valued Member Canada 71 Posts	Posted 01/20/2014 11:57 pm Seems to me that a brockage error wasn't known at that time which means it could have been done at the mint and the holes drilled after Report this Post to the Staff
shark38ksw Valued Member Canada 71 Posts	Posted 01/20/2014 11:59 pm Don't think the brockage is post mint. Report this Post to the Staff
chwkboy Valued Member Canada 118 Posts	Posted 01/20/2014 11:59 pm I can't say with any certainty that its not a garage job, but I would certainly lean that way. The weight of this coin is 7.9 - 8.3 grams. They were made at two different mints. The Royal Mint pressed them with Medallic alignment. The Heaton Mint pressed them with Coinage alignment. The two holes look like some one was trying to make a button.Your coin is completely missing the other side, I don't see ANY traces of it. It may be a vise job. Draw your own conclusions.
