Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 11/03/2014 6:29 pm Half of the edge is square, but the other half is thinner and not square at the edges. Looking from the obverse, the Elizabeth II side is the square one, and the DG Regina is the round one. Anyone knows what happened to it? Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 11/03/2014 6:53 pm Sounds to me like a minting issue, perhaps something in the collaring process? Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 01:26 am Does being off-centre cause one side to be thinner than the other? Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 11/07/2014 12:47 am I don't know what a tapered planchet looks like and I don't really want to be making assumptions on mint errors. Report this Post to the Staff
DaytR Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 837 Posts	Posted 11/07/2014 5:05 pm A tapered planchet is one were one side of the coin is thinner than the other side (which is thicker),apparently its caused by too little pressure when rolling out the strip .... http://www.coinsgb.com/Error_Coins/...lanchet.html http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=30015 the irony is that I came across this while investigating thin planchet coins and their causes ., I think I also got a tapered planchete 2p in change this summer ....
