While I am pretty confident this is a Canadian version of Machine doubling I wanted to post and see your thoughts. It has a Morgan hot lip esque about it and I'm by no means an expert on coins much less when it comes to Canadian coinage. Pretty cool looking IMO.
Yeah. It can happen there on the profile. Believe it or not. Look at this, off a 1930-D. Yours is a little hop. This one's a jolt...
You’ll note that Coins and Canada list this type of ‘doubling’. It’s very common amongst Canadian cents.
When I noticed the difference in how the site reported NV doubling as doubling, I was confused why they would do that. Afterall, there are certainly a number of true doubled dies for Canadian coinage. But perhaps it's just the novelty of a find...regardless of 'authenticity' as we might see it here. Afterall, the hobby is supposed to be fun. So, I got over it quickly and moved on.
When you first posted that coin, I recall trying to imagine that 'jolt'. It is pretty unique from my perspective.
I thought it had to be something else, too, but nobody was buying it. What else, I couldn't say. Still is funny to me, too, though. The date was distorted, as well, like something violent shook it, twisted it. Here it is, again, compared to a normal...
The penny photos just show a tired, worn die. You have to be careful looking at the CaC "variety" section. There is a semi-correct actual variety section and then, last, are submissions that any member can submit as their idea of a variety and they can name it anything that they want. They are not certified and, mostly, not true varieties or even anomalies.
