Then what would be your take on the piece?

Something I have done over the years, when the new coins came out each year, I would buy a master pack for the store, go through the rolls looking for that type of error. Every so often you found something. Lots of fun, enjoy!

Obviously this coin got caught in something! My question, is it post production garage job or the real thing. You can see where the pressure has broken the obverse surface. Full unc red. Any thoughts?

This is the most complete covering of grease that i have ever seen. 100% of the reverse's surface is rough and the strike is the complete surface.

This die crack is very slight but runs from the 4th leaf in her wreath to the bottom of her shoulder. Since it is so light, the break would disappear after some circulation. The coin in the picture is a MS-63-64

Boy!!! is this embarassing...so occupied with the die break, missed the 6 and the camel toe. Thanks guys...if you want to view it, I will have it at Boucherville Feb.18th.

The reverse has three die breaks on the word "CANADA" in the outer ring. View the C, N, A. It was given in change at the CAND show in Hamilton Jan.27, 2024. Coin was in AU/UNC condition,

This is a 1952 George VI cent with pebbling on the reverse top part of the coin. I found a reference to this as a surface material such as grease or other liquid being on the die or the planchette. They referred to it as orange skin! The coin is from an original roll and there were several in the ro...

From am original roll, the reverse has die breaks running from C in Canada to 9, and then from 9 to 1 and from 9 to leaf. You also have a light die break C in cent to E and then E to N.
You will note in the pictures, I shot two with natural light and 2 with LED to highlight the errors.

You can see the spike in 1107, look at thr meeting place of the hair and the forehead. spike runs horizontal.

You will note there is also a spike coming out of the forehead of George. On my MS-65 Obverse, I have a die break off the truncation left to the denticles and reverse die break from first 4 to Maple leaf and from Maple leaf to denticles, and from the last A right step into field.

Break line runs right across the top.

See if you can get the cooin XRF'ed. That would give you the composition.

Bought a part of an original roll and noted that there is a chip on the inside of the P causing the "P" to have a wider upper stroke. Please see attached photos.
