Montgomery Valued Member Canada 429 Posts	Posted 11/29/2015 8:12 pm I'm not sure how to identify this 1978 cent. Almost hafl of the blank is missing. Thanks P.S. Sorry for the bad pictures, my reflex broke few weeks ago. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 11/29/2015 9:38 pm It would either be 1968 to 1978 (1988 would be a smaller/lighter planchet). And, you can see the corner of the 7 in the date.

Montgomery Valued Member Canada 429 Posts	Posted 11/30/2015 04:40 am In hands, the part of 7 is more visible. I think 1988 would have a different queen design too. The observe have a finger print and more dark near the edge compare to the reverse. What do you means by details? Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 11/30/2015 11:48 am PCGS would not call that a "details" coin - they would grade it as a ragged planchet strike. Lots of examples out there like this. Judging by the obverse rim, this coin went through the upset mill like this too...
