molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 6:21 pm Can it be some sort of a lamination error? Are 2003 Canadian 5c coins plated? Maybe what is seen on the picture is some kind of minor error with the plating of the coin. I am sure someone experienced with Canadian coins can tell you more. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21604 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 9:10 pm Possibly a minor Struck Through. And yes molydeii, it is a plated nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 09/27/2021 07:38 am I don't think it's a struck through or the devices should be effected as well. Is it incuse? I can't tell from the photos . The first picture looks like a possible struck through but on the close up shot you can see the 3 is not effected at all. Report this Post to the Staff
