Interesting... is the copper plating "broken" anywhere?

That's just it, there is no copper plating that I see.

Strange, but it has to be post mint IMO. The planchet wouldn't fit inside the collar. Something this large would have to broadstruck and it's not.

I'm puzzled as to why all the devices are larger than a normal cent!? The head is huge as well as the bust and memorial. This coin is not perfectly round either possibly indicating heat as mentioned.

The edge also is split as if two pieces were fused together.  |

I wonder why anyone would counterfeit a 1993 cent?

It was in the category, errors. I'd love to do an analysis to see exactly what kind of metal this is  Like I said, it's 2.5g swcoin.ecrater.com

I seen a thread recently where they shrink coins, is it possible they've reversed the effect?

3) Collar partially engaged. When the coin is struck metal flows outward - if the collar is present the metal flow is constrained, if not the metal flows outward such as in a broadstrike. The result is that the part of the rim where the collar was not engaged extends outwards. If the collar is at an angle we have a tilted partial collar (I have seen many Australian dollar coins of this type), if not at an angle we have what the Americans call railroad rim coins (all the predecimal partial collars I have seen are of this type; I've also seen Australian 2c coins). https://goccf.com/t/29228&whichpage=2From my understanding, I think the coin edge is an example of a railroad rim. |
