Certified by NGC, MS65, red. A super rare large cent error. The planchet was damaged before the strike, the lamination peel on the obverse shows a corresponding weakness on the reverse.
Blowhole errors are somewhat common in Canadian small cents, particularly from 1977 to 1981, but this is the only the second we've seen in a large cent. This one is a nice, problem-free BU coin.
