Interesting. I have no idea. Too bad this was cleaned.

It appears to be perfectly round when compared to other cents.

It looks to have been flattened post-strike. Notice that the obverse design rim is also disturbed at K12.

 steve123 per your last comment: I have noticed that my Canadian cents can have most error and varieties that our coins do? Have you research this and/or can explain this to me, as they are not minted here. Would like to have feedback from other CCF members as well. Thank you and what a beautiful day! |

Hi, Connicoins... I guess a die gouge is a die gouge, regardless where a coin is minted.

What is the weight of this coin. Is the planchet thinner than normal? I see a general weakness to the devices.

The more I look the more I think it is damage.

Thank you everyone for taking a look, I appreciate it. It had me puzzled for sure, but damage it is.

The top two images are inconsistent with each other. The top one appears to be lit from upper left (about 11:00 to the image), and the line is shadowed to indicate that what's below it is lower in relief than what's above it. That would make it and the disturbance at K12 kinda puzzling.
The second image appears to be lit from about Noon, and a ridge catches light at the edge of the anomaly indicating it's higher in relief than what's above it. This is consistent with something weighing the coin down enough to create a bending offset along the curved line, determining the specific damage if not the actual cause.
But then the top pic is anomalous.
You should be able to look at the rim from about 1:00 obverse and see offset downwards with the obverse up, and possibly a crack on the rim at K12. Looks like it's had a ton of weight on it.
