Canacoins Pillar of the Community Canada 955 Posts	Posted 07/08/2017 01:38 am I am not up to par on this . Is the obverse rim some kind of mint error or just wear and age . It does look a little of center Report this Post to the Staff

Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 07/08/2017 10:32 am I think the strike just isn't as strong throughout the whole coin. The obverse has some denticles that are nice and sharp while others flat. I've seen it a lot with George VI coins. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 07/08/2017 3:26 pm I think it's due to Die Deterioration. Look at all the die cracks evident in the first obverse pic,this die was pretty much toast when your coin was struck. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 07/08/2017 3:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
