ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 7:36 pm I bought this a while back. It's a two pence struck on the wrong planchet. Can any of our British members tell me if this is authentic since I've seen them listed at several hundred dollars on some sites. Report this Post to the Staff

ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 9:20 pm Thanks sel! I think I paid around $8 for this one. Then, I saw some on a few different sites for anywhere from $50 to $600! Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 3:27 pm I'm not sure. On both sides of "two" on the reverse I see some unevenness in the edge. I think someone just sanded it down. Once I grabbed a Victorian cent I hadn't seen before at a shop. When I realized it was a large Canadian cent with ground down outer ring (with the wreath and the legend) I put it back. Edited by svslav 03/13/2011 3:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 4:01 pm All the others that I've seen are the same.... rough edges. I'm trying to locate some of the other sites that had these listed last year but I didn't bookmark them so it may take a while. I'll post pics of them when I come across them.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 01:11 am I have just examined all of my error coins that have been struck on undersized planchets. They are all slightly out of round. The edge surfaces are slightly irregular and not always vertical to the faces of the coin. None of them seem to have any evidence of tooling, and there is not she slightest hint of filing or fine sanding marks on any of them. There seems to be no evidence that the obverses or reverses have been held firmly, there is no evidence of pressure stress on the high points of the designs. All of my errors using undersized planchets have come from Llanstrisant, i.e. British decimal coins. Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 04:54 am You're term is more accurate. "Irregular" is what I should have written rather than "rough". Report this Post to the Staff
