It is possible PCGS has certified two Canadian nickels as such, how they were created is debatable.

Don't do it rocky. The dies are not interchangeable, in the presses of that era, an obverse die cannot fit in the reverse die position in the press. It is impossible for this double headed coin to be anything other than a " Magicians coin" "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Not if the management ordered the machines to alter the die to create such piece, or pressman had too much time and slowed the press to create an obverse brockage, then flip this coin over and strike an obverse brockage again, that would have a head to head coin. Although highly unlikely weird and wonderfull errors came out of the RCM during late 70's and 80's. |

I have two tailed 1-cent coins - but, they are actually counterbrockage strikes...

Mike Byers the US error dealer sold two 1980 PCGS tail to tail Canadian cents, and I believe there are 6 or so US coins slabbed head to head or tail to tail coins. Edited by john100

I want to share this with the members here. I know where there is a very elderly dealer. my father took me to this guy along time ago. my father is gone now. I have part of his collection. this old gentle had a box. he said son I going to show you some coin you have never seen. well let me tell you. there is member here. if they saw what I seen in that little box. you would not be saying that these coin are impossible. what I saw there in his little shop. there is members here. that would pay anything to have these coins. its the type of coin that ssp Ottawa likes to look for. wrong metal coins and some very different error. some of them mint. I know thou to get some of them its going to cost big time. keep and open mind these coins are out there. this gentleman is as honest as the day is long. he believes they are real and I would trust him. I wish I could show you some of them. but he will not let you photography or take them out of his shop. he is going to sell them soon. I told him to contact me as soon as he want to let them go. these coins do exist
