<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SPP Ottawa, post: 1736561, member: 39508&quot;]Ahhh.... 1969. The summer of love.... and the year the Royal Canadian Mint left the back door open...</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought these coins this past month, individually, in the span of two weeks from different coasts of the country, one from Victoria, the other from Halifax.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are double struck coins on Canadian 10-cent planchets. The first strikes were the normal 10-cent strike, in collar. The second strikes are by 1-cent dies. One coin (on the right in each image) is double struck with the obverse/reverse of both denominations on the same side. The other coin (on the left in each image), is double struck flip strike, with the obverse/reverse sides of each denomination swapped. Both were struck on 2.1 grams, magnetic, nickel Canadian 10-cent planchets.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can find double struck sets like this quite easily with 1969 1-cent coins, but I have never seen 1969 coins double struck by two different denominations before. As Heritage would politely put it, &quot;probably with help of the press operator&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]272836.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]272837.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
