SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 11/09/2018 5:29 pm Received today this 1915 5 Cent coin. The reverse shows no error but the obverse shows an arc shaped area of thinned metal. Is it a delamination, indent strike, the description was planchet flaw. I hadn't realized that this was a rarer date coin. Any and all comments welcome. Report this Post to the Staff
