SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 12/21/2021 9:47 pm I bought this coin, as part of a Canadian error deal from the US. At first, I was not enamoured by this coin, as the scratches on the obverse are significant. It was not until I actually sat down with the coin tonight, did I realize there are three errors here: 1) broadstruck about 5% off-centre 2) indent strike from an overlapping planchet 3) struck on a Type 1 planchet Interesting enough that it migrated from the inventory pile, to my personal collection.

As the blank passes through these parts it is under pressure from both sides which pushes the metal on the edge back and raises it-slightly. This action gives a uniform edge and size to all blanks and also helps in the striking of the coin designs and extends die life. It is called edge marking or upsetting. Once this process is complete the planchet is now a Type II Report this Post to the Staff
