I'm no error coin expert but if it wasn't done by someone after mintage, I'd say it looks somewhat like a die clash but once again, i'm not an expert by any means.

 

the 1989 looks like it has bad planchett:kewl:

 

The verticle marks are die polish the area close to the rim

The verticle marks (close to the head) are die polish the area close to the rim is a common form of surface plating type break - I suspect to much pressure or planchet to thin, to thick - whatever it's very common.

 

Maybe very common in USA but not in Canada :smile

Many Thanks.

 

Or Mongolia?
