Is there some documentation? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 02/18/2017 12:11 am Cu-Ni test tokens of other denominations were struck in 1965 for use as samples for potential customers. The possibility of a one cent example in that alloy isn't such a stretch for 1965. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 10:16 am Per Mike Diamond's quote, "when a planchet can't be linked to a known domestic or foreign issue it is considered an "orphan" ". There are many ways a planchet can be an orphan including being struck on a token, a wrong stock foreign coin, etc. I have a few US coins that are struck on planchets of unknown origin.

Other than a few comments made by a few coin dealers, which cannot be proven to be valid or false, there is no documentation - hence why I am showing it here. I have a few more people to ask, including some friends at the Bank of Canada Currency Museum... but I doubt I will ever find answers...

The possibility of a one cent example in that alloy isn't such a stretch for 1965. I would like to think so... but you think there would have been some documentation of that... It could be a trial to test the new dies with the newer version of the effigy as well...?
