Perhaps someone may have an answer. It weighs 5.65g and it looks like there is an extra indentation running top to bottom on the front of the face. Half of the Voyageur dollar canoe maybe&, not really sure. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

Check your scales, unless it is counterfeit, it is overweight, should be 4.54g. Report this Post to the Staff

Rfrancis3 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/05/2022 12:17 pm Scale is accurate so its over a gram off weight wise. As far as wear goes, possibly but its been sitting in a box since the 70s. Report this Post to the Staff

Rfrancis3 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/06/2022 3:39 pm Anyone have any thoughts about why its more than a gram over weight? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16831 Posts	Posted 10/06/2022 8:48 pm That coin should be made of chrome-plated steel. That coin clearly is not made of chrome-plated steel. It appears to be made of something much softer, like lead. It therefore must be a counterfeit. Presumably a circulating counterfeit, since no coin collector is going to be fooled by it and 1952 5 cent coins aren't all that rare to start with. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 10/06/2022 9:47 pm Looks like a lead cast counterfeit. Try rubbing the edge of the coin on a white sheet of paper, my bet is that it leaves a grey streak.
