SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 1:58 pm Nope Mike. I saw that one in hand. Definitely a strike through error, there is no deformation or displacement of any metal, even under 20x. The coin does have hairlines, which is shame... but it is a neat strike through error type, nonetheless...

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 11:56 pm A thin wire sheared off from the reeding of another coin (torn off Rim Fin). You see more of these in US coins (probably because they struck/strike orders of magnitude more). A Google image search of "struck through reeding" should show some cool examples.

TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 819 Posts	Posted 05/06/2020 12:48 am A fashion statement mixing a wreath and a tiara/hairband ? How gauche. Archbishop of Canterbury pushed down too hard during the coronation and crushed her head ? The impression resembles the shavings that come off when you use a metal lathe.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 05/06/2020 10:20 am This error is actually quite common in 1968 to 1974 nickel dollars... but usually the nickel wire fragment is retained.
