chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 1159 Posts	Posted 12/10/2019 1:15 pm Im not convinced this is post mint damage with the coin in hand. The obverse and reverse are matching, the flows of metal and especially were the rays meet.Note the close ups how the groves are nicely rounded the way they should look like being struck over. Just found this roll searching. Report this Post to the Staff

johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1622 Posts	Posted 12/10/2019 1:35 pm I agree, PMD. Next to impossible that it was struck-through something on both sides of the coin, in exactly the same position. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5591 Posts	Posted 12/10/2019 1:45 pm The pins/spears appear to be rusting .. are they mild steel? It looks to me that the pins were pressed into the coin after striking ... there are no marks on them from being on the planchet when struck. A "vise" job? Tough to tell when not in hand. I'm basing these comments on that the anomalies appear to be raised, rather than incuse into the design. If they are cut into the coin, then some type of workshop tool was used to damage it into looking like it does. Edited by okiecoiner 12/10/2019 3:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
