Doryboy New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 03/23/2015 10:45 pm Trying to find out about this coin. Any information would be helpful. What would cause this and what would it be classed under?

Sap Moderator Australia 16867 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 12:02 am Hello and welcome. I can't really see how such a thing would result from a mint error, but then I can't really see what's going on here. If I had to guess, I'd guess the coin has been superglued onto something, on both sides. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 01:43 am Yeah clearer pics would help. It looks to me like I can see an E backwards in front of the one. Maybe a clash? It almost looks like it lines up with the e from George on the obverse.but maybe it's an illusion. Report this Post to the Staff

steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 08:44 am It looks to me like a tool was used to push the metal towards the center in a circular fashion around the coin. The metal looks gouged, then at the end of the gouges, it appears that the metal has been pushed into a pile. I think it's PMD and someone was practicing with a tool of some kind. and to the forum!
