Interesting, how does the surface look in hand? Is it really worn down?

  Do these help at all? I'm going to try and get a photo between two regular 1967s to show how thin it is |

Wow, look at how high the lettering is. That's odd. I'm going to say either chemically treated or counterfeit.

If you had really accurate callipers you could check the thickness versus a standard coin at one of the undamaged parts to see if the planchet is actually thin or if some of the planchet has perhaps been shaved away. Looks like damage to me. I doubt it was worth someone's time to try to shave it down to recover some "free"silver, but that has been practice from time to time in history.

From what I can see from these images is it looks like the edges of the coin have been filed down or squished. In the side on image the coin looks convex that makes me think this  PMD |

First of all, to CCF I am absolutely convinced that this is a legit strike on an underweight (thin) planchet. That region on the Queen is where it is almost always weakly struck, the the dish-shaped fields near the rim would be very hard to reproduce - it is struck with full collar, but there was not enough metal to nicely form the rim. A normal silver 25c is 5.83 grams, 3.5 grams is seriously underweight. It is rare (first one I have seen), but error values are all about the eye-appeal and wow factor, so you are looking at about a CAN$75 error.
