judging from the age and wear on that coin, I think it is just PMD (post mint damage). maybe the E is a struck through error but I can't tell from the photos. even if it was, you wouldn't get much of a premium for it due to the condition. and....  to the forum! |

Looks like damage on both accounts. To be an error, it would have to happen during the striking of the coin and I can't see how this would happen at that time. Anyway to the CCF |

I don't think this is PMD. It looks like a filled die. |

Looks like the E on the die was partially clogged with debris of some sort. The middle part of the e also extends past the back of the e, would imply a die chip. Maybe they attempted to fill the chip? I don't know

My first thought was a struck through but then there is no sign of something being struck through in the field. If it was a Grease Filled Die, I think it would also show in more than that area. This also posted in the Coins and Canada Forum. Be interested to see what they have to say. |

It is damage without doubt.
Not a die chip
A lump of displaced metal on the left of the vertical portion of the E .
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Thanks everyone. It is odd, and a rarity, correct? Monetary value of any kind? Anyone care to give a shot at grading it?

It looks like PMD to me as well. From the photo quality, it's hard to tell grade .. F-12 maybe, who knows. No extra value for the "E". |

I would grade it VG-8.
No extra value for damage.
