Nice coin

 

Nice problem free coin.

 

I know this is the US forum but I’d love to hear theories on this maple leaf that’s still in the OGP so heat is out as a cause.

 

First year issue,very interesting reminds me of coal.

 

It's been through a lot and most likely a few battles.

 

The photos are not juiced, the coin actually looks like that.

 

Thought You Might Be Interested My Grandfathers Dog Tags When He Fought In Africa In The Canadian Army. If anyone as any info or history of coins used as dog tags I would be interested in knowing more.

 

Thanks

 

This was stolen from me in a PCGS Specimen slab:

 

Paid 9 cents for a nice woodie

 

What do you think @dwhiz, train track nickel?

 

awwww what the heck, i've got the pictures laying around.... besides severe split plating, No idea what's all wrong with it, all kinds of "strange look" to me, mostly missing L in liberty, weak date, odd rubbing look on all the high points of the obverse except where you'd expect it, the rim except the little spot around 9 o'clock ... oh and yeah, also an odd rim on the obverse, maybe a bit of Misaligned obverse die? BadThad's 1990 a few posts above has a better strike I think! It's somewhat circulated, but not for long, the exposed zinc tells that tale.
