Looks like damage to me as of value none really.

 

I have had this Canadian penny in my collection since 1985 about when I first started collecting coins.
I had to play around with the lighting a bit in the last pic so you can see Queen Elizabeth's figure from the front of the coin Imprinted through the coin onto the back in reverse matching the orientation from the front ( In the last photo here )
I found it in change at a gas station I worked at 5 miles from the Canadian border.
I have seen US coins with a "Waffle" error but never a Canadian coin, nor can I find any error like this anywhere on a Canadian penny. It is only 1.3 grams, which it should be close to 3 grams.

 

It has a rim on the back side and you can see Queen Elizabeth's figure from the front of the coin Imprinted through the coin onto the back in reverse matching the orientation from the front

 

with those pictures Im guess a penny? clean it up please $1000 needs clearer pics and documentation

 

Looks like they cancelled it or something. But I don't really know.

 

I tryed to take different pics david , hope its better

 

Waffles or the correct terminology cancelled coins are not mint errors.

 

It Looks like a Split Planchet. It weighs less than half of normal.

 

That thought crossed my mind, its relatively smooth and the lines on the reverse can be seen on the front as well as queen elizabeth from the front on the back in reverse. would a split planchet do this ?

 

Yes.

 

Welcome Mark. From your photos, I really can't tell, but then I'm not the expert on errors, paddyman98 is, along with @Fred Weinberg and @JCro57 and a few others. Maybe they can weigh in.

 

I'm with ya on that one. I was thinking brockage. But that doesn't fit the weight.

 

In addition to the two members posted by @Mountain Man, you can contact @mikediamond. He also writes a weekly article for Coin World magazine. You can send the photos to cweditor@coinworld.com and they'll get to Mr. Diamond.

 

Definitely not a "waffle error" that's for sure.

My guess, it may be along one of these lines, However, they are asking much less for them than you and they aren't selling, and theirs are authenticated and graded, although, one of the TPG companies I've never heard of and can't say if it's a legit TPG or not.

I'll also tell you this, you have to get the pictures in focus if you intend to sell it any where near comparable prices even, never mind the $1000 price tag. Sold listings for split planchets, authenticated/graded, they sell for like $40-$70 if they do sell.

 

Looks like a 'split after striking' planchet
