JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 7:52 pm to the CCF That is what is known as a vise or garage job. Someone has taken another coin and pressed into that one. We see these quite regularly on the Forum. Value 1 cent. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 8:07 pm Note the deep incuse arc across the coin? That is the transfer off another coin. On a doubled struck coin, that would not be present: Also note, both sides of the coin would be affected, and the devices will not be mirrored. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 8:57 pm @jla, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that it looks like someone has tried to manufacture an error on this coin. It is just a spender for me.

Aref Valued Member United Arab Emirates 204 Posts	Posted 08/10/2021 12:36 pm To me (very inexperienced) looks like it has been damaged. I don't think this is a mint error. Have a good day. Report this Post to the Staff
