It appears to me that it is my first doubled die. Am I correct? The coin is actually a lot better then it looks, still retaining full mint luster and redness, but I can't take good coin pictures, so I scanned it. It makes it look not as good as it is, but you can still see what really appears to me to be doubling. How rare is this? I have another (nasty-looking) 64 Canadian cent that does not have the doubling. Thanks!

If it is machine doubled very common. If its a doubled die it will have a premium. We need images to see what you have for sure that show the areas in question? __________________ Two silk worms had a race.

Try using a magnifying glass and focus your camera through it. You might get some closeups. Great find!   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
