I found this roll hunting in the previous millenium. I thought it might just be that someone smacked two coins together until I saw other examples here. There are problems in 4 places on the coin. Besides the obvious indent from another coin, the fields on both sides are affected. Behind the queen and to the left of the leaves, the field is scraped smooth and the beads/denticles are gone but the rim is intact. There looks to be an impression from a bead at the 10:00 position from the 1 in the date, and another just above the G of the KG initials. To the right of the leaves, the field is all bumpy and the denticles are gone, but again, the rim is intact.          From what I've read from some posts here, I'm now supposed to take this 1 cent investment and send it for certification at PCGS, pay about $150 to have someone tell me it's an error, then expect to sell it for $250, then wonder why it doesn't sell and complain here that the coin market has tanked. I think I'll keep it raw, thank you very much. Edited by TerryT

Can tell you for sure this is not a 250 dollar error if this is even an error, it's at best 30 bucks. With pennies you need like a full mirror brokerage, or double struck before it needs grading

 I asked here for confirmation to avoid paying $150 for an opinion. The last part of my initial post was a jab at the people who do send anything for certification then expect them to sell on ebay at ridiculous prices. I personally would have started this on ebay at $5.00 and $1.25 shipping. |

check out this site and compare your coin to the examples given for indents, partial brockage, etc...
I believe this is post mint damage and not an error.

 - damaged coin, not an error. Secondly, errors from 1978 to 1981 are very common. Legitimate indent strikes are worth about $25, unless the indent is significant and the coin is mint state.

I'm sorry, but it's Post Strike Damage. You can see the pushed in and flattened metal. Worth face value since it's damage. Click on this link to see an actual real Partial Indent error on a Canadian Cent. This is my example that I found last year CRH. http://goccf.com/t/292084Errers and Varietys.

Just got my Errorscope magazine in the mail today. Lots of excellent examples of indent strikes in this issue.
