<p>[QUOTE="gunner3oo6, post: 21440, member: 1586"]I have a Canadian 1999 December 25 cent coin that has no ridges on it's edge. First suspected someone ground off the edge but coin still weighs mint specs of 5.05g on jewlers scale. Diameter and thickness specs are off though. Mint specs are 23.88mm diameter and 1.6mm thick. This coin is 23.66mm diameter and 1.92mm thick, so edge has been squashed. It appears that this may of been done during mint because there are no clamp marks, no warpage or distortion to shape or stamping, only dimension change and missing ridges. Anyone know anything about this or is this just something someone did to it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Hahaha ........ Sent an email off to the Royal Canadian Mint inquiring about this and just received their reply today. They say they can not determine the value of my coin without me sending it into them. They also say that if it is an error coin they will replace it with a coin of equal denomination ....... YEAH RIGHT! lol</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope someone here can help[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
