JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 09/18/2018 4:39 pm To the CCF Exactly what is it we are supposed to be looking for. All I can see is a regular 1964 CENT with possible environmental toning. Edited by JimmyD 09/18/2018 4:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/18/2018 10:25 pm to the coin wonderland! 1964's were made with very worn working hub dies. The details had stretched towards the outer rim in a process known as "Metal Flow" This had a distortion to the lettering, at times they touched the rim and disappeared. The reverse appears to be slightly offset, this may just be a Misaligned die (MAD) or even a "broadstruck" coin where the collar on the die press didn't fully deplot and surround the coin when struck. We'd have to see the rim of the coin to tell. Report this Post to the Staff
