Retarded???

[lineop3]

I was browsing Canadian coins and someone I guess in "Canada" posted this and said it is a retarded coin. :squigglemouth: Wow. Talk about being clueless!

Strange (politically incorrect) response. What did that coin do to anybody? Are they giving that double struck away?

[lineop3]

I believe he was selling it.

Thanks Steven. I need to learn how to do that.

I know what you mean, this would look nice in my collection!

That's an interesting choice of terminology from a website that seems to thoroughly understand errors and varieties. Strange????

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and suggest that maybe it's just a bad translation from French- there's much more info on the french portion of the page so they're probably non-native english speakers.

The benefit of doubt can be applied in many instances, and this may well be the problem. We have to admit it did translate rather silly.
