PPH and I snaffled this one last week. 1981 20c, partial brockage/indent and it's been struck twice.

I'll give you 25c for it as it has an additional bit of metal on it.

Wow, nice.

Superb error - thanks for posting.
Is it the Canada minted version ?

Nice "snaffle" Guys :yahoo:
It looks like this has seen a bit of circulation amazingly.
It must have taken a while before anyone noticed this one in their change.

No, it's UNC. It was sold to us by the son of a 1970's/1980's mint worker.

Nice, I couldn't see this lasting too long in the wild before someone spotted it
