Ok I'm done putzing with Canadian coins and now working with Newfoundland. (I now it's considered part of Canada, LOL) Ok so there is a variety called re-engraved date. Chances are the coin I have is not a re-engraved one but I've not been able to find anything on the net to help me determine this. I'm more of a picture person but any one know how to determine this? I've attached a picture of the 41 portion of the date. I'm not seeing anything that appears to be retooling marks but then again I am not knowledgeable of these things. Thanks in advance. Jessica
As far as I know, the only variety for 1941 is a double die, and the re-engraving is on the 1940. But, I am not entirely sure.
I'm just going by the book. It says nothing about a double die unless re-engrave is another term for it?

" so I think you'll need to collect more of them, until you can note a difference with the re-engraved die.
I don't have the 1941RE, but I have the 1940, so perhaps this is indicative of re-engraving? Are you seeing doubling on your coin? I could not tell from the pic.
Nope no doubling. So I was pretty sure it was not the re-engraved one but I just wanted to make sure.
