I'm assuming this is some sort of PMD because 99% of the time it is, but I'm confused by what would have caused it. I found this 1945 Canadian penny in a roll yesterday, the obverse has a small rim cud, but the reverse has a slash right through the N in CENT. My confusion lies not with the slash itself but the part of the N above the slash. It seems to be pushed towards the T. As you can see from the 1962 penny reverse I posted for comparison that part of the N should be straight. But the one on this 45 is slanted and pushed towards the T. What type of PMD would cause that? As always thanks for the help everyone.
Looks like it took a hit. Sometimes the metal can get pushed a bit, causing that. I see that with the date on Lincoln cents from time-to-time.
Thanks guys I appreciate it. Figured it was PMD, but didn't realize it could completely move the metal like that. That'w why I love this forum, I learn something new everyday.
If you go on coins and Canada web-site, then go to the price guide, look-up in Canadian cents, search the year, under that year, they also list known errors for that coin, maybe you'll get lucky, and they'll list your error, if not, then I'd say it's nothing then ! Good luck :hail:
Great site Rick thank you. Mines not listed so its def PMD, but I find canadian coins often in rolls so this site will be very useful
I live in Michigan, and have a lot of Canadian coins, pass the word around on this site, lots of good info there !
