    I was searching thru some Canadian coins that I've had for some time and came across this 1948 5 cent piece with multiple die clashes. I became curious and looked it up online but wasn't able to find much info on it. Yet I did find pictures of the clashes at: http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?coin=5-cents-1948&years=5-cents-1937-1952 . This coin doesn't just have one or two but 4 clash marks in all in the exact same areas as on the pictures of the web site. In order to view the pictures just look under More errors and varieties on the page. The clashes look exactly like the ones in the pictures with the naked eye. The error #'s are 1345 and 908. However, there is also another die clash, above left of the X at the point, that I have been unable to find a number or information on. I've uploaded pictures even though it's a little hard to see the clash marks but I've only got a scanner at the moment. And even though it's hard to see the marks and luster the coin looks to be at least Almost Uncirculated condition in my opinion but I am not familiar with Canadian coins.

    What I would like to know for those that are familiar with these is how rare is something such as these with multiple clash marks, what do you think the value would be and what is your opinion on the grade of the coin? I've noticed that the value jumps up very high the greater the grade. Maybe this one is worth sending in? Let me know what you think please. Thanks!
