It's just not there - the surface is smooth and uninterrupted. It's quite clear that the number didn't just get rubbed off at some point. There are no other Newf 1cents from the 1860s so it has to be from that year. I'm wondering whether this is interesting or rare? Also, how might this have happened - I'm assuming some kind of defect in the die or striking process....? Sorry but I'm not set up for taking decent enough photos to post but the coin is as described. Lots of wear plus a missing numeral! Report this Post to the Staff
