I am trying to find some information about a coin I have in my possession: a 1938 Canadian penny. It is in good condition, except that the obverse is blank. There is no indentation to even suggest that it was stamped. I can not find anything about it so far. Thanks in advance. -Seabee   *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Nice find. Either completely worn away or was never stamped, I'm saying the later

My guess is it was filed away by someone. A close-up pic would help.  to the CCF! |

Damaged. No rim upset, design too full on reverse. Was sanded smooth by that Cannuck garage imp.  |

Agree with Crazyb0 (who still spells Canuck with two "N's") Can't be an error, only shows rim on one side. PMD |

I'll bet it weighs substantially less than 3.24 grams.

No rim. The Crazy has spoken.

Most definitely post-mint damage...

you should weigh your coin. make sure it is not a plantet split. I have a couple of pennies from different years. that are split plantets. they look like your coin.your penny should weigh 3.24 grams .

the weight is something you should determine anyways but I don't believe that this is a 'split planchet' Seabee. this is a ground down coin in my opinion. below are 3 examples of split planchets (with uniface) and all 3 weigh around half of the spec weight for a penny. in all 3 examples you can see the rim even though they are distinct in their overall appearances.    |
