thatcanuckyguy Valued Member Canada 166 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 12:23 am Here is a better scanned image clearly showing the extra metal under the Queen's chin. It is a shame this cent scuffed up... Here is also a link on one at coinsandcanada.com : http://www.numicanada.com/medias/pi..._surplus.jpg Edited by thatcanuckyguy 03/14/2011 12:25 am Report this Post to the Staff

thatcanuckyguy Valued Member Canada 166 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 02:49 am Thanks commoncents13! I figure it has like FV/BV at least :) I'll keep it until I can find a nicer specimen ( if ever ). I was thinking maybe the Queen was hanging around Ronald McDonald to often and it was starting to show :P Report this Post to the Staff
Cubro99 Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 03:52 am Its caused by abrasion when they tried to clean up clash marks. I would consider it a form of a die clash rather than obverse doubling. Common but very interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
