This is a really cool coin, it has all the end of strip features one would expect to see, when a rolled strip is trimmed or cut, to fit the blanking press. One used to see this more often, in
US coins, when they split the rolled strips in half (length-wise), and the shearing/tearing effect of the metals could be seen. Such features are seen on the reverse of this coin.

robmck1967, who alerted me to this error that was sitting in a box at J&M in Vancouver.
It is a really nice addition to my (slowly) growing collection of nickel dollar errors, and it is even better when there are collectors out there who not only think of their own collections, but those of friends too. That makes CCF a pretty special place.
