Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2523 Posts	Posted 06/08/2014 01:13 am Obverse looks like a vise job, someone squeezed 2 coins together. Not sure what happened to the reverse, but I think this isn't a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff

Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 06/08/2014 2:26 pm If it were a strike through or partial brockage, the side without the error would be completely normal. Due to the pressure of the die remaining in contact with the planchet. When it's post mint damage/vise job, both sides are damaged in the process. Report this Post to the Staff
o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 06/08/2014 2:43 pm I see now this could not have been a mint error. If it were a strike through error you would not see the reverse design in the indented area. You would only see the incused design of the other coin. Also like you said Pokermandude, the obverse would look nothing like this. Report this Post to the Staff
