Whoever does the coinsandcanada.com website misdiagnoses a lot. Plus he calls MD "die shift doubling"(a term I have no problem with) and tends to place more emphasis on it as being collectible than we do here in the states. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-errors-varieties.php?erreur=die-shift&id=14

Sorry Jello but I am inclined to believe that this is simple strike doubling as evidenced by the leaf above the date.
I guess the Canadian site like coppercoins for Canadian cent would not like that. But no big thing its just $1.50 coin at most. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?coin=1-cent-1953&years=1-cent-1953-1964
