jlueke Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I wonder if it was discovered accidentally when someone noticed that a dime shouldn't be sticking to a magnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsraghead Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Maybe. If thats how they did it, I would have just thrown it in the fake box. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I wonder if it was discovered accidentally when someone noticed that a dime shouldn't be sticking to a magnet. All Canadian 10c from mid-1968 onwards were struck on either pure nickel or plated steel planchets, so they all should stick to a magnet.

ccg Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Given that the size appears to be correct, I can only wonder if it was a milling issue (the metal sheet the blanks were made from being too thick) resulting in an overweight piece.

Good theory, never thought of that. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
