TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 12/24/2021 01:18 am Gambled $10 C on this one many years ago on ebay, listed as a lamination error. Thought about it previously being from a pendant but the king's head would have been upside down. The rim at the missing section is slightly higher than the inner metal so doesn't look like some one cut it out. Sure circulated for a long time. Report this Post to the Staff

papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 12/24/2021 10:09 am I'm not an error guy but it sure looks legit to me it has same rim on opposite ends of the coin epically on the Obverse. Interesting find hopefully someone with more knowledge chimes in Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/24/2021 10:54 am Look legit to me, possibly a damaged planchette, I remember a topic like this recently in the American section. The colour of the damaged area kind of throws me off on this one. What's the weight? Edited by Wrekkdd 12/24/2021 10:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1618 Posts	Posted 12/24/2021 11:10 am I think its a delamination. If it were a planchet flaw you would expect to see some weakness behind George's head where the metal would not be fully struck Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/24/2021 11:16 am Forgot to think about that, you are correct. If it was a damaged planchette there would definitely be weakness, a lamination issue would make sense. Report this Post to the Staff
