It is post mint damage, these are novelty items from the 70's I believe they were used on business cards and such. Worth a little bit.. ( under 5 dollars) if it's still attached to the card. But this has no REAL numismatic value.
And the 1943 cents are only valuable if they are copper.. or an extremley high grade steel.

These are all modern Canadian Mint double headed coins although they don't have the sam head on both sides. I have seen these in the store and they are pretty nice sincethey are triple struck and such. Hopefully this is on topic
