Coin ERRORS you may not know Exist Chapter 2 Whether or not you collect error coins, you know what some of them are: Missing mint mark like the 1922 no D (Denver mint mark) Cent and the proof 1971 no S (San Francisco mint mark) Cent Double Die like the 1955 or 1969-S Double Die Cents Missing parts like the 1937-D (Denver mint mark) 3-legged Buffalo Nickel Then there are the blanks (2-side or one side), broadstrikes, brockages, clipped planchettes, cuds, laminations, mules, multiple strikes, off center strikes, and wrong planchets. If you own any coin guide, catalog or subscribe to a coin publication, you've seen photos of these errors. Last time, we covered the errors that exist on Spanish Milled Dollars that were struck during the time they were considered Legal Status in early America. This time we turn our attention to an error coin issued by our neighbor to the North, Canada. In 1867 Canada became a Confederation. It celebrated its Centennial of the occasion by issuing a 36mm Commemorative silver (0.6000 ounce ASW) Dollar. It was released into circulation with a mintage of 6,767,496. Following are photos of the issue. The first photo is of a 1967 Canadian silver Dollar without errors. (courtesy of Amazon.com). To see both sides as one photo place your browser pointer over third thumbnail below photo: CANADA 1967 CONFEDERATION CENTENNIAL 60% SILVER DOLLAR - NO ERROR This photo (courtesy of Coin Archives) shows the 1967 silver Dollar bearing 2 errors. When you see it you will notice that it is double struck and had rotated in the collar during striking causing the flying goose to be placed upside down partially obscuring the legend CANADA: CANADA 1967 CONFEDERATION CENTENNIAL 60% SILVER ERROR Hope you enjoyed seeing this unusual error. To be Continued... Clinker
Very cool Clinker. I have one.....of the non-errors. Wish I had the error....I didn't know it existed until now.
