Could this be a floating roof with a weakened FG or this is due to the poor condition of the coin? Learning a lot from reading the forum, thanks to all. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21611 Posts	Posted 04/05/2021 10:48 am A floating roof is not really an error as it is caused by excessive die polishing which is just part of the minting process. Report this Post to the Staff
