This! There are some really complicated clips out there!! Understanding how different shapes will be impacted by the upset mill (i.e., turning...
It is a well known (and documented) example of die deterioration doubling. You see the same phenomenon on the Canadian 1962 5c as well.
Minor lamination (planchet flaw). You see these a fair bit from 1942 onwards in the George VI series.
Struck with fresh dies, but not a specimen strike.
Count me as one of those persons. Frankly, transactions between dealers or other collectors, are nobody's business but my own. Dealers respect me...

Actually, Canadian presses are a bit different. That coin is not broadstruck, as there is a partial collar to it. Canadian presses have very stiff...

Maybe it was struck from metal punched out of a rear quarter panel of a Chevy Impala... :smuggrin:
It is actually harder to find gem 1962 or 1963 Canadian 1c without any die clashes on it. I have certified 3 MS-66 with PCGS, and all had various...
The real mystery is to find out if the Royal Canadian Mint actually struck that, or not.
I have never seen that, but as a collector of Royal Canadian Mint exonumia, I absolutely love it!! Thanks for sharing this.
Did someone say MAD?? This one is the most drastic that I have. [ATTACH]
Here is the set composition, with varieties. Just click on the coin of interest....
There are actually several different doubled die reverses. The Extra Waterline (XWL) version is the most extreme of this (DHL-1, PCGS #606913)....
They are removed from eBay. Feel free to tag me when you see stuff like this.
I am on this one. It'll be removed from eBay in a couple of hours. I also flagged about a dozen more "non-errors" from this seller to be removed.
Separate names with a comma.
