Description
A 1962 Canadian bronze 1-cent coin featuring a major die cap mint error. The obverse features the laureate Young Head portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse is smooth and nearly blank, lacking the standard maple leaf design because the coin adhered to the die during the striking process. The vintage holder notes that this specimen was the coin that caused incuse strikes, identifying it as a die cap that produced brockage errors on subsequent planchets. The piece is housed in its original vintage 2x2 cardboard flip with handwritten provenance and acquisition details from Earl Getschel of Humboldt, Minnesota. Major Canadian decimal errors are scarce, particularly when preserved with full original color. Uncirculated. The obverse displays sharp details and full original red mint luster. The reverse is smooth and planchet-like as struck. The vintage cardboard holder shows age-related toning and minor oxidation on the staples.
