Multi Struck Canadian Cent

All that proves is that there are two people in this thread - you and Strach-Man - who haven't seen hundreds of these fake "errors" before, instead of just you.

This thread is becoming a high-quality teaching tool. Please, keep denying reality. It's fun to watch.

Let's please refrain from piling on and repeating what has already been said. Constructive responses only from here on out. Others will be removed.

Send it to NGC or PCGS. ICCS does not certify errors and a CCCS opinion of a coin like this means nothing in the marketplace.

The first stop for the coin, without question in my opinion, should be Mike Diamond's desk if he's willing to look at it in hand.

A fair question, which I'll answer with a question of my own: How does a coin receive so many multiple strikes, including positive and negative strikes, without the collar disengaging? The rim is complete. Did someone stop the press and remove the collar during these multiple strikes? It's the only way for a complete rim to be distorted after the initial strike.

Go back over how the strike process happens. If you can see that process clearly, you will understand why this cannot happen at the Mint. It's that simple and intuitive, even if you don't know the mechanism by which this coin was actually created, as we do.

I'm sorry you feel persecuted, and agree that some members have been too harsh with you. We won't be forgetting that. But, you are denying both knowledge-based logic and the opinions of the country's foremost experts to stick to an opinion which amounts to a physical impossibility. It's tough to converse with someone who is denying reality.

Thanks nickels guy, SsuperDdave , honest answers finally, I do understand this concept that is why it is going to be certified and as Iv'e pointed out from the beginning Due to the many weird error's on the coin why I'm getting it checked, but to not have it checked an wave it off as a fake, I believe would be a grave error in itself. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place due to the provenance of the coin I have no choice, it being put away for so many years lends credence to it being real. As with the baseball cards and fake artist prints showing up in the last 40 years because of there popularity. Canadian Coins were not at all to popular till recently and yes I do know babe ruth's signature was copied before the 80s and a few others but not the flood that came in the 80s, again US coins were mostly the issue.
The coin was put on here to get all opinions.
Again Thanks

biokemist6, Thanks again exactly the point because if the minting process went exactly the way it was supposed to and the employee did exactly what they were supposed to there would be no error's, As with the 1943 copper coin it is only opinion that keeps that going, the famous 1913 nickels also, all opinion. That's why I would like to see a book done by the actual mint employees who ran the machines and I do understand again it would be yet again opinions but it would be opinions of people who actually saw it happen.

I don't understand why you keep saying this. People have been deceitful as long as there's been people and all the tools needed to do this at home were available. The fact that it's been put away so long really doesn't mean a thing.
