Hi All, I am new to the forum, and am hoping to get some intel on this strange toonie I found in my pocket change. Any ideas? I have been searching for a similar error for a while but have not come across any. Thanks!!   |

coinbabe, welcome to the forum, from your pictures it could be either a planchet flaw or struck through, however there is also some post mint damage around the coin (being circulated).
could you provide us with a closer image of just the section with the impression (depression) it does look like something is impressed in that area.

Seems like a small lamination peel to me

Not the best pic, but there appears to be somewhat of a grid-like impression struck into the coin. My initial, perhaps overly-creative thought was that it had something to do with the microchips that the mint launched in 2012.  |

Looks legit to me...  It looks like the serrations from the rim of the two dollar coin. But, it also looks like a strike-through. My guess is that this is a struck through a fragment or laminated piece from another two dollar coin, that was struck and then a piece of the rim laminated off and ended up on planchet or dies... which then struck your coin.
