If nothing else, it is definitely very interesting to look at. any comments that help to deconstruct it are much appreciated thank you all for helping.

robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 12/22/2014 12:18 am That is a great coin(s)! So 2 planchets stuck together with a third one out there somewhere that prevented the strike on the reverse. What the heck do you call this other than a dog's breakfast!? Thanks for sharing it!!

robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 12/23/2014 1:36 pm I would like to know what is in between those planchets. Was the first planchet stuck and remained, with the second entering the chamber and getting mashed to the first? If so, then there should be a struck reverse on the first planchet and mirrored on the second. If not, it would be blank on both planchets. And what about the blank reverse of the second planchet? There must have been a third planchet in play that is a uniface strike. Any other suggestions as to what happened here? I must admit that I am totally fascinated with this coin. Lol. Maybe I will get to see it in hand when I travel up island in January! Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 12/23/2014 2:24 pm 2 planchets are fed in, the planchets are nearly perfectly centered which means the rims are smack tight against each other but the fields have a very thin space between them. Observe, notice the light striking in the middle area(space between fields) but yet the beads are all clear hence the tight rim. Reverse, cant see any clear ghosting, again the space between the 2 fields is weak but the gutter edge remains around the inside. I don't really see the need for more planchets to be involved. The collar die did its job and this coin was nearly stuck to the obverse die.The fold overs are after strike. IMHO Report this Post to the Staff
