I have a 1000 things to do, but instead, I decided to bore you with another long-winded post about another coloured cent. It was going in the junk pile until I gave it a little wipe with my t-shirt.

Still looks pretty bad so I shed some light on the subject. (first 2 photos are LED soft white bulb=60w, like most new lights)


Brighter halogen desk lamp - makes any marks more obvious, and in this case, shows a die crack from the king's eyebrow to his hair.


The reverse has multiple colours and multiple errors.
There's a die clash from the left leaf through 1 CE.
There's a die crack after the last A of CANADA which goes through K*G to the tip of the right leaf.
There is an indented struck-through mark near K*G, with several raised lines running from it, plus several other raised lines which don't correspond to a die clash (through ANADA also).



Here's a closer look. You can make out lines inside the mark which appear like the coil of a spring...? Before you say it's
PMD, I had hesitated to call it a strike-through error and happened to look at other 1947's, and I swear, the very next coin had the same errors, with less of a die clash, so minted later. The mark was also less evident, although the lines and die crack are evident.
