I did not acquire the 1967 silver dollar oddities, my collecting focus is on the small cent and nickel dollar series. Here is what I have, likely...
A bit belated, but thanks for the newspaper information on the 1969 Canadian "errors". I own several of them, and always wondered the back story....
That was my coin (graded PCGS MS-64). It was also added to the PCGS Registry Set (varieties) for Canada 1-cent (just called "Variety 1")....
I agree with Kevin. A machined doubled DDO. This is not surprising actually, that year is rife with machine doubling and die deterioration doubling.
Poorly annealed dimes... also can occur north of the border (although, I suspect this is a plating issue). https://www.pcgs.com/cert/33950458...
Nope. All 25-cent coins struck for Canada of pure nickel composition are 5.05 grams. (1968-2001). Note that in 2001, you can find the quarter...
Actually Bill, it was a circulation coin. The 1999 and 2000 25c coins were struck in Winnipeg for circulation. There was no business strike...
The 25c coins that weigh 4.4 grams are the multi-plated steel planchets. For Canadian 25c, this started in 2001, and there is a little mint mark...
This one of mine sits in a PCGS double slab: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/12282172 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/12282173
To me, it looks like it was a rim fin error, where excess metal is squeezed up between the collar and hammer dies... circulation and handling has...
They were handled in many ways, ultimately ending up in a bag. See at about 10 minutes into this old video... and you'll need your bib for the...
The first place my eyes go to for those is the rim... a rim that has seen circulation tells all...
Nice pickups Dave. Something to watch for at future shows, the scarcer 1876H variety is the one with the full-footed serifs on the T of VICTORIA....
I would happily do that - but I would want you to PM me, so that you are given the proper authorship of the article...
Mine is the reverse of a Municipal trade dollar from Sherwood Park, Alberta. Although I collected coins as a kid, I really kindled my numismatic...
This would make a fantastic article in the CN Journal (Journal of the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association)...
If anyone knows the 1973 Double Dollar Prestige sets, and the notorious 'Red Fluff' that ruined many of the coins in those sets, and that specimen...
semibovinian: that coin looks like it has a seriously nice collar clash on the obverse.
My newest Canadian coin(s)... a two piece bonded 1-cent cap, already in a nice thick PCGS slab graded MS-64. With Canadian errors, a bonded...
I saw that... they called it a "Doubled Legend"... I think this one needs a proper article.
