ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 8:01 pm I just went through eight new rolls of 2008 nickels. In addition to a few with some blistering, I found these three all in one roll. They have chunks missing, two from the "D" in "CANADA" and one from the "N" in "CENTS". Report this Post to the Staff

wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 8:04 pm I wonder what's up at the RCM this year First it was milk spots on all my Maples, then die cracks, chips and so many more things! I wonder if the coins above could be mistakenly categorized as postmint damage... Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 8:07 pm Also take a look at how sloppy the date is in the second pic. About a quarter of the nickels were like that with a lot of excess material around the dates and on the obverse lettering. Report this Post to the Staff

ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 8:35 pm Went through all eight rolls. I actually had the whole day off for a change and this is how I chose to spend it. Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 8:44 pm Well, the ugly dates are surely a variety at least. Good job on finding those We'll have to file a report now the the ISO to tell them the RCM has been slacking! Report this Post to the Staff
snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 01/05/2009 01:24 am Honestly, I'm happy stuff like this is happening. Canadian coins are always so clean, well struck, and problem free (generally), I mean with the exception of the bug tail and a few 50 cent coins, where do you find die cracks? I'm mostly a Lincoln collector now that my canadian stuff is semi complete, and I'm LOVING all the varietys, weak strikes to paw through, DDO's, RPM's, OMM's. Now thats fun to me.

Lately, I've gone through a few dozen rolls of cents, nickels, dimes and quarters and in general there isn't a lot to find (unlike the U.S. coins). Mostly, it's die chips, slight (very slight) rotation errors and blobs of material from Die Deterioration. I'll be posting a grouping of various Canadian coins in the next day or so that are good examples of what I've been finding. Most of the flaws are in the dimes and nickels. I'm actually finding varieties in the few U.S. coins that I come across in the rolls. It just shows how closely our mint controls the quality of it's coins. Report this Post to the Staff
