oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 07/05/2016 8:36 pm Why is the edge so funny looking? And why is the colour so yellow? I certainly would not take his word that it is silver. I would also want to know the weight and diameter for starters. Report this Post to the Staff
wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 07/05/2016 8:43 pm This makes no sense that someone would do this....it doesn't look anything like a reeded edge, more like a amateurish hatchet job. From the listing: Marks on edge are deliberate damage! The marks are impressed in, not filed! Estate stated coin was received in change as a silver dime, and recipient, feeling ripped off, joked that he tried to turn the coin into a dime by adding a reeded edge Report this Post to the Staff
XWLCoins Valued Member Canada 320 Posts	Posted 07/05/2016 8:53 pm The coin doesn't look silver at all... it looks fairly circulated. There's no way an error like this would show so much circulation. Who would be stupid enough to notch out the edges of the coin to "make it look more like a dime" This coin seems like teenage boardem to me Report this Post to the Staff

XWLCoins Valued Member Canada 320 Posts	Posted 07/05/2016 9:26 pm Lol! A coin struck on a planchet that had both an obv and rev brockage. That's nonsense Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 2:38 pm The 1961 5c looks legit, the weight is good and non-magnetic - but as an error collector, in my opinion, this is now a ruined off-metal strike... It is only worth about 10% of what the seller is asking... The 1961 1c that was listed (and is now removed), was most definitely not legit. You cannot have a first strike mirror brockage on both sides of the planchet, then struck again, all of which appear to be in collar (full rim)... it is impossible.
