What you have is an 1882 "Obv 2/1 with heavy punch doubling". It's a combination of some machine doubling and hand repunches. We put it into the...
Don't pay attention to what CaC lists or includes or not cover. There were about as many Obv 1 dies as Obv 1a dies. And then you have the 1a/1...
Yes, it's an Obverse 1a strike. Between F-15 and VF-20, but cleaned.
The coin is heavily heavily worn and deeply corroded. I don't know what you mean by "the T's in the middle. There may be a slight rotation from...
Go to the top of this page, above your name or moniker and fill in the "search" space for what you want to know. In your case, a Canada cent and...
I agree that the small "doublings" are due to MD and pretty common on those coins. Do an archive search on here for more doubled faces and leaves.
Yes the "C" shows maybe repunch or die deterioration there, but, to me, the other anomalies look like MD.
It looks like machine/mechanical doubling. It's caused when the die becomes a little loose in the holder/keeper. It's pretty common in many...
Yep, machine/mechanical doubling (MD)
I didn't see anything special, but the gunk between the tail and the upper loop on the first one could be hiding something. It's not a 9/8 or...
From the photos, I can't tell you what those 3 varieties are, if they are varieties at all. Need to see some markers. Take a look at the Haxby...
There was no "thin rim" variety for 2010 or 2011 with neither rare; they were struck in 2 different alloy/compositions. One was plated steel...
The photos, especially the Obv, are not clear enough to see. It looks like some wear in Geo's hair and on the flanks of psuedo-animals on the...
Very nice half, Yoda
Take a close look at your 1919. There was an episode of "traveling mechanical/machine doubling" evident in the Canada and sometimes part of Cent...
There are some 1919's, Canadian, that have the last 9 slightly doubled, seen on the inside right in the loop
Since you are only looking for one coin from each of the countries, I'd suggest that you use 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 holders, which have 30 coins per page...
The CaC site gets very little discussion traffic. I think that the French edition of that site is very popular and informative. Here's the...
Are saying that your coin is the diameter of a Canadian nickel or silver dollar, or a US silver dollar? It should be the size of a 25 cent piece.
"In large enough volumes small margins bring in profits so never assume there is no reason to forge a coin." A very correct and astute statement....
