I found this poor little loonie in circulation the other day. I wonder if it was worn as jewelry or if someone was just experimenting? Hmm, I wonder when the assault took place? Poor thing has a story

Hi, chequer.. Yeah.. I would like to hear the story too.

I would almost think, someone was wearing it around their neck.

LOL Probably some kid in shop class wanted to drill a coin and had this in his pocket.

I would say shop class over necklace. I think for a necklace coin, one would want the hole at 12 o clock so it hangs flush

Should have punched it first before drilling it
I see evidence of drill wandering towards Queen's

So, it's PMD and not a mint error? (where's that sarcasm button?)

Was my above post edited by an admin? I definitely didn't call it the wink variety...
I simply made a joke about the hole being through the letter A.


Edit -
Just checked and sure enough, my post has been edited.

I understand one's website is one's property and one has the right to decide what is on it. However, If my words posted on one's website are going to be changed, while one has every right to do so, I think that pointing out the post has been edited by an administrater would be a great courtesy.

I hope I haven't ruffled any feathers with this.
