Anyone care to CSI it as I really have no clue how this would have come to be. The extra metal seen is completely attached with no break lines of sorts. Cheers and enjoy.

I'm no expert but I'm tempted to call it PMD, maybe faulty planchet depending on more pics. Maybe someone else has seen this before. Report this Post to the Staff
steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 12:21 pm Very interesting. Looks like the rim is curved inward. How could that happen PMD without obvious signs of tampering? Planchet flaw is my guess. (and not an expert one, either) Report this Post to the Staff
M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 12:22 pm I thought that as well, but I'm leaning more towards a mint error of sorts. I truly am a rookie with coins tho lol. Report this Post to the Staff
M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 12:29 pm Note the out of round on the "O" in George, PMD would not be able to shape it like that, hence my strong belief it's a minting error associated with a broken die perhaps.............. Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 12:44 pm Thanks for posting the extra pics its always fun trying to figure these things out. It looks like the metal was pushed up and worn back down over the years. My guess is PMD IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff
wazzappenning Valued Member Canada 329 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 1:01 pm on the obverse it looks like a flat spot on the edge between the n in ind and the I in imp. my guess is that its the spot used to push the coin into whatever did the cut. Report this Post to the Staff
M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 5:40 pm thank you all for your thoughts and ideas, I did send this to an error specialist, he also feels it is PMD but can't explain how. He truly believes it did not leave the mint like this. Cheers. Jon Report this Post to the Staff
