    I got this after breaking a dollar and when i looked closer at it i could see letters by the side of her head. I tried to take pics but it seems to come out blurry despite the digital microscope i used. I can make out an m an n and a but it and i don't know much about Canadian coins either. 181113_083744.jpg PSX_20181115_104922.jpg

    I don't think that is any type of Mint Error
    Just some stain or faded letters that were applied post mint

    I don't see any letters there. Just some random staining that kind of looks like letters. I suspect this is a case of pareidolia.

    Even if those really are letters of some sort, they likely were a result of transfer from contact with some kind of ink-printed material - outside the mint - so this is certainly not a mint error.

    I can see how it would sorta look like lettering at first glance, though.
