My guess is: 1. Delamination. But I cant explain the perfect arc that looks like it was struck with another planchet or part of a die cap on top of it. 2. Strike through. But I cant explain why the area of the reverse where 'Canada' appears to be untouched. I have seen another coin on CCF, which is/was Smallcentguy's http://goccf.com/t/76634&whichpage=15Weight of my coin is 3.2 g; normal weight is 3.24 g. Thoughts?    |

Struck through a fragment?
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I agree with DBM .. struck through a lamination flake from another coin. Is the area raised or incuse?

That maybe correct, struck throug a peeled fragment.
I suppose a partial clip would have the same groove on both sides.
so it's struck through a peeled fragment giving it the effect of a lamination peel on the coin?

Okiecoiner - if you are referring to the area that has been struck-through, it is raised.

Ha ha! I bid on that one! Fairly aggressively too. good score!
I am leaning towards it being struck through a coin fragment.

If the weight is right on - then it is struck through a split partial planchet fragment. I have a couple examples like it - the texture inside the struck region is exactly like those seen in split planchets, but the split planchet is thin enough to allow the flow of metal to partially show through with the hammer die strike. Lamination peels have different textures under the peel, you would be able to read the date, and the edge is very ragged, see here: http://www.PCGS.com/cert/12282172http://www.PCGS.com/cert/12282173If you could ever find the other fragment, now that would be cool (and you would know the date)!!

I'd like to think is it's struck through a disintegrated die cap fragment - just because that's cooler than struck through a laminated fragment from a previously struck coin.

Except, we would see an orange-peel texture inside the strike through, and not the striated pattern... imagine this sitting face down on the planchet, before the strike.
