There were three 2004 Cu-plated zinc 1-cent errors in the 2017 fall TCNC Torex auction. I had just bought a very important (and expensive) error the week before, so I only went hard after this one, the one that I found most wild and fascinating. This one is underweight, 1.6 grams, uniface (slightly convex at the edges), and a huge reverse Rim Fin. The "pull-away" nature of the zinc from the devices to the rim is awesome.

darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2426 Posts	Posted 12/10/2017 06:47 am SPP, I have created that pull away effect a few times while destroying the cent in the process. Im guessing a foreign planchet with a smaller diameter was struck. This would allow for the expansion of the planchet and a pull away effect. The uniface obverse tells us that there was another coin in the mix which in turn allows for the finned rim. Just a guess? Edited by darryldarryl 12/10/2017 10:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10459 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 4:52 pm Actually, I figured that a thin planchet was nested on top of another blank planchet in the striking chamber... too much pressure for the total thickness of the two planchets, and the zinc had to go somewhere...
