    I don't think it was trying to form another design. The scratches are way deep to be anything with the minting process. It looks like someone was trying to clean, was frustrated or trying to make a fake error coin of some sort. it is really badly damaged. 

    Ok thank you dukemnm

    Not that I'm aware of. And even if by some fluke it was struck on an earlier Canadian 3.2g copper planchet, how would you be able to tell the difference once it has been struck.

     

    I did see it somewhere I just can’t remember where. Me myself I don’t know how to tell the difference But someone will lol

    I thought about this, and I think it's a 58. The strike is quite good, though not full, so one doesn't expect a full head or shield; there would be light flatness. However, I think what I see is a combination of light flatness on the very high points and light rub: the face, the shield where one or two studs are missing, possibly the drapery and hip. What is clear is that any wear is very minimal. In hand I would be able to assess this better, but as we have it, 58 is my guess. Nice SLQ.

    Thank you .

    Hello again,

    I'd say that your coin has some environmental damage as a result of 54 years of circulation.  While the nickel in the outer clad layers of clad coins is some really tough metal, the copper is very reactive and prone to corrosion and other types of chemical damage.

    Thank you again.
