Found this one today. In hand it looks like it may be a Proof or Proof Like, the leaves have a "frost" to them and the fields are mirror like. Also it appears to be a MAD if that's what it is. What do you all think, Thanks.John1

That looks like the die clash that I just read about in a recent copy of CCN. Is this the same one?

Do you feel like I'm following you?  You know, I was so focused on the clash that I didn't even look at the rest. It almost looks like it's broadstruck.  Let's see what others say.

How does it compare to another cent when you put them together? Is it as skewed as the pic? Or would it roll up just like the rest of them?

Scoob,if you mean will it fit in a roll then yes because it came out of a mixed date roll that I got in a box of cents from the bank.I guess I need to have it measured though.
MAD=Misaligned die.

Hi John1
For value I don't not?
But yes this defect is off center or MD.

castor, What do you mean by MD? You don't think it's a broad struck? Do you think it's a Proof Like if such a thing exists? Thanks much, John1

John, you have a MAD from the pics. The easiest way to confirm is simply place it on top of another cent and check the diameter. If it is noticeably larger you have a broad struck. I do not know about Canadian coinage but it does appear proof like.

Sincerly John1 My excuse
Is not "MD" but is "MAD" = Misaligned die.

proofs in 1963 weren't frosted - that much I know. However I cannot say if that is a proof coin or not; I am not able to differentiate the different finished. Still, it's a beautiful coin
