Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 10:12 am Found this 1980 Canada Cent Roll hunting and I have been following the die attrition discussion which is new to me. So what is this? It looks to me as if the Obverse strike is quite weak compared to the Reverse. Also the edge mark is directly across from the 19 in the date. Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 06/08/2015 12:43 am I like it when its a big enough fin that it gets struck into the lettering with a nice overlap. I realize that sometimes the edge's of the die get damaged giving it a similar look. I've heard this mentioned by a few others here(CCF) before. Report this Post to the Staff
