<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SPP Ottawa, post: 1746405, member: 39508&quot;]This type of coin is uncommon in Canadian coins, and if you exclude the handful of 1-cent coins struck in this fashion in 1969 (back door jobs), then, it is an extremely rare Canadian error.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was lucky to find this one recently, in mint state condition. The coin being of a softer metal (98% Cu), the second strike obliterates a lot of the first strike, but, serendipitously, the date is visible on the obverse of the second strike. I like this coin, a lot!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lastly, I am indebted to fellow CoinTalk member, <i>LotsofCoppers</i> - who found, and sold me this coin. It was posted in an older thread here, but as die clashes - so I have decided to post it here with the proper error name. These were his original photos, when he sold me the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]273933[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]273934[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
