Let's state the obvious, the coin has been squeezed with an enormous amount of pressure in order to flatten the devices, flake off the plating, and enlarge 'CANADA.' The obverse doesn't seem to have been effected and must have been seated in some sort of collar to keep part of the rim intact and the queen protected.. Whether it's PMD or not I'm interested to see what others can come up with for an explanation. Weight and possibly the thickness might be of some help. |

Don't know how it may have been pressed but it indeed looks like was placed in a machining type collar,note ridge around rim. Since reverse in now effectively flat, could this be to mount on a piece of jewelry, medallion or other object?

Looks to me like this was done using a crimping machine.

Looks like a Partial-Collar Broadstrike. It has a classic "railroad rim" (like a railroad car wheel).

I have seen broadstruck coins on zinc plated 1-cent coins (from 2005), they look nothing like that...
It looks like the rim and highest points were flattened out, after the strike, note the stretching of CANADA.
I can't quite say how it happened, but I can say that it did not happen at the mint. The reverse die would not allow stretching like that, broadstruck or not....
