SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 01/01/2022 2:27 pm Grading errors can sometimes be difficult, especially for capped die strikes and other phenomena that can interrupt the lustre of a freshly struck coin. But generally, points of wear are somewhat similar. So, this is a nicely blueish toned off-centre broadstrike 1c from 1968 (meaning, no collar die whatsoever, so the coin does not have a "ballcap" feature and is completely flat. That aside, give it your best shot at a grade (the counting machine damage on the obverse edge is very minor, and really does not impact the grade). I'll post the third party grader certificate in a few days.

Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 01/01/2022 10:11 pm Mint state for sure though I'm not sure about the RB...looks most like a BR to me though it depends a little on whether you're using PCGS or ICCS standards of grading.... Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 12:28 am Cool coin. From lack of experience with them, I don't believe I can offer a meaningful guess on an error.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 12:36 am Counting mark issues, automatic UNC details Irregardless of what the TPG says . Nice error! Report this Post to the Staff
TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 822 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 12:49 am TPG AU-55. Coin from a bag ? Looks like it got marks but didn't circulate much. Having no rim let other coins rub against the design which looks weak, especially on the queen's hair and shoulder. Edited by TerryT 01/02/2022 12:59 am Report this Post to the Staff

You mean regardless, it was drilled into me most of my life to not say irregardless. That said in bad at English lol. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 3:39 pm Didn't think we were learning English 101 here. If you wish to go there . Does irregardless mean the same thing as regardless? Yes. We define irregardless as "regardless." Many people find irregardless to be a nonsensical word, as the ir- prefix usually functions to indicate negation; however, in this case it appears to function as an intensifier.
