john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 9:17 pm It looks too well struck to be a thin planchet Report this Post to the Staff
ikuna Valued Member Trinidad And Tobago 489 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 9:38 pm It's outside the tolerance hence it's either thin or less dense since the error is not with the scale. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 11:06 pm Considering it's worn it may have been struck within tolerance. Did you check foreign coins struck by the mint that year which may fit the bill? Otherwise no TPG will certify it given the wear, and without certification, what is it worth? It would an interesting keeper for you, that's it. http://www.coinscan.com/for/foreign.html "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 05/31/2021 11:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ikuna Valued Member Trinidad And Tobago 489 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 07:29 am DBM, I have thousands of coins that are worn and 100% worst and they are all within the tolerance expected. John 100 implied that it was struck too good to be thin so it's attributes can be clearly seen hence putting to bed the "Worn Theory". If it is not too worn to justify a .1 grams drop outside of the lowest normal weight and it is struck well then it could be; 1. Too thin 2. Too light Either or both. All still Mint Errors and have some value. See Site below to confirm specks. http://www.coinscan.com/technical/canasp.html Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 2:23 pm It could have been from a planchet struck from either 25c stock (normally 5.05 g) rolled too thin, or even from 5c stock (4.54 g) rolled too thick. You are smack in the middle. I also have seen other denominations from 1969 struck on thin planchets, so it's plausible. But, while scarce, to an error collector these have only moderate appeal and value.
