Smcat New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 09/18/2018 09:50 am Did Canada mint any silver pennies in 1962, or ever. The metal is all the way through as you can see in the hokecdrilled. Any ideas? Sorry for the cropped photos, not good at this yet. Report this Post to the Staff

Smcat New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 09/18/2018 10:36 am So the plating must be after the drilling? Otherwise I would expect to see copper in the hole? Or maybe the drill left the material? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21616 Posts	Posted 09/18/2018 10:37 am Would be plated after hole drilled and counterstamped. Have seen that counterstamp Masonic logo before. Probably made for a piece of jewellery. Edited by JimmyD 09/18/2018 10:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
Smcat New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 09/18/2018 10:57 am Trying to show inside the counterstamp, you can actually read the letters that got stamped. Hard to show on pics. If you can't see the letters in this pic, I'll take a better one when I get home. Plated huh? I was hoping soneone was working in the mint in 62 and made a little souvenir medallion..
