JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21885 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 12:16 pm That is called a counterstamp. It was applied by someone after it left the mint. No premium as it is considered damage Report this Post to the Staff

There are a small number of collectors who like counterstamped coins and will pay a bit over face value for them--if they are attracted to particular examples. Report this Post to the Staff
