Thanks, all. I don't know how many hundreds of the '67 pennies I have looked through and finally found one!

Just found the nickel to go with it!! Not as dramatic as the cent, but still doubling in pars of the "5 Cents", Rabbit's back and "Canada".    |

Is that a die crack (or scratch) going down the back of the hare? A Doubled Rabbit is listed as Die Deterioration as well, a die crack would not be out of place.  The beads are totally messed up on that nickel. Look like fried eggs. I would say Machine Doubling, looks like some flat field doubling as well. The 1967 5 Cent Double Rabbit - the doubling is on the front (chest) of the hare not the back, so the error listed on the Coins and Canada site is different from your example. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...ts-1965-2015Edited by SilverDon

SilverDon, yes the face from the nose towards the top of the ear is double along with the start of the next down the right forepaw. Also, the scratch looks like it started as a die crack but it seems to merge into a scratch (maybe just a coincidence that it was scratched to meet with the die crack).. Here are a few more photos...    |

Nice looking nickel, lots of oddities. I thought the die crack was leading into a scratch.
If it is raised above the surface of the coin, you should be able to feel it, proof of a die crack.
It must have been double struck to get that amount of doubling. A slight shift in the
planchet or die prior to the second strike, just thinking out loud here, not an error expert.

Yeah, the crack is so minute that it is difficult to see it, keep it steady while magnifying and to try to feel a raised ridge. LOL, it's almost a surgical procedure.

Interesting, I just found an example of (partial) double CANADA and DATE. Only 1867 is doubled.  |

Machine Doubling is more of an error introduced by the machinery. A "double" die is a variety because it happens during the actual striking process and the mintmnaster has OK'd the process of modifying the hub or the die. MD does not involve any modifications to the die or hub ... all you have to do to eliminate it is to tighten the screws or keepers that hold the die in place.
