It weighs 2.50 grams and has a diameter of 18.6 millimeters. I am not familiar with the minting process for this type. The finished product is 12 sided and has a diameter of 19.1 millimeters according the Charlton. Do they start with round planchets that after being struck end up 12 side with a slightly larger diameter? Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 04/15/2019 8:14 pm the collar is 12 sided, for the years you indicate, the blank was round, and forced into a 12 sided collar, which, was not conducive to the copper plating, that is why in 2003 the went back to the round collar..

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9871 Posts	Posted 04/16/2019 10:09 am Why are you so sure it's a Canadian planchet? Billions of post-'82 US penny planchet also fit your description. Far more likely to be one of these. Only materials testing can reveal the difference. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
