johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1618 Posts	Posted 10/14/2023 8:41 pm Weight is correct at 4.54 g. The rim is tapered. Very weak strike. Broadstruck out of collar? Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 10/14/2023 9:14 pm Appears to be so. I would have expected it to be completely round because the collar is twelve sided but the planchet is round. Maybe one of the experts can tell us why it has a couple of flat spots. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 8:05 pm Damaged coin. The rims have been filed down to give the perception of a thinner coin. The 12-sided edge is formed from the collar die, and a broadstruck coin would be round. A Type 2 planchet does have a raised edge, and we don't see that here.
