[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3553142, member: 78298"]How would the Canadian penny get in a bin of US blanks? Where are the details of the Canadian penny? Use full size and use circles or arrows (paint program) to point out Canadian penny features. Is every You Tube video now about wrong planchets and foreign planchets? I think I mentioned this in my beginning of the year thread, which kinds of questions will there be the most? 1982-D small date, foreign planchet, etc. My question is, doesn't this look like every other road rashed penny you have seen in your life? And, a follow up, and not to pick on the OP, is this the first damaged coin you have ever seen? Coins get chewed up like this all the time which is a billion times more common, then a coin that was minted over a foreign coin. Which happens when a mint worker intentionally (or accidentally cough,cough) introduces a foreign coin into the minting process. The only other way is when it is a foreign blank that has not been minted, the US is minting coins for another country, and some of those blanks are left over or mixed in with US coins. Those can be identified because of the different weight and size from US coins. But both of these "errors" are extremely rare. The odds of picking up a random road rashed coin which is a valuable error are astronomical. Do these videos explain that you can go your entire life without ever finding one of these coins? The Canadian coin in your post would weigh 3.24 grams.[/QUOTE]
