Post mint damage - another coin was pressed into it. The flattening of the obverse also indicates this.

Good question. How can one tell the difference between a garage job and the real thing...any indicators ? I lke these types of errors when they`re the real thing though, not an attempt at making an error coin or someone just messing with around and then decides to dump it. Gladly I paid almost nothing for it.

Counterbrockage - A planchet fed in on top of a coin with a partial brockage?

I would have one question. If a coin was pressed into it, how does the T in Cent escape being flattened when all around it is. It looks here like the impression of the King was made before the Reverse and is much deeper while the T is still raised.   Edited by TaeKenDo

Seems like maybe there`s more going on here than meets the eye so-to-speak.

If you study how the coins were struck, including the rim (collar die), you will know that something like this is impossible to do at the mint.

SPP-Ottawa - I just bought a book on Diecaps & Brockage. Interesting but not much info. Trying to find as much as I can, only finding bits n pieces here and there.
Can you recommend any books or web-links with more info of the entire process. I have a degree as a machinist that dates back 3o years & this stuff intrigues me. I`m subscribed to multiple `How`d they do that` type channels on youtube.

I agree. Some sort of vise job.

The fact that the obverse has an extreme amount of flattening kind of overrules anything going on on the other side.

There are lots of books - but the main issue is that most are written for US error coins, whose mints operated (and still operate) different presses than those Canadian mints use.

@SPP-Ottawa - I found a post on this forum where you explain a little the process, thanks for that. I also found a few images, videos and explanations, I guess enough to get the gist of it. But I still am missing where you say knowing about the process would show this impossible. What are you looking at that I`m not perceiving, if you don`t mind briefly sharing.

Think of a Type 2 blank planchet, and how a rim is formed...
