First thing I would do however, to put my mind at east would be to weigh it.

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 12:14 am Excellent coin! Could be a 1962.. That seems to be a kinda common year for these in varying states of the cap. If it is, I have a later stage sister that may have come from the same cap. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 02/08/2017 8:14 pm brockage is a coin struck with a coin that is stuck to the die, leaving an impression/mirror image, or brockage on the struck coin. the coin that produces the brockage is a softer metal than the die so it quickly gets thinner and thinner, turning into a die cap. as the die cap gets thinner the design from the die shows through more and more, so your coin is a late stage die cap where the brockage was faded and the die's design was beginning to come through.
