What Am I Missing? Canadian Coin Errors Exist But To What Extent?

Ya, I think there information on Canadian coins is much more limited then American, I still need to pick up and error book, and when I have some extra cash put aside there is a few books I plan on ordering.

I never really got into the hobby to make money, though it's not like I'm against it. But I'm not anywhere close to selling coins atm, if I was I would be doing what some others do and just throw together random full sets from like 1930 to date and then put them up for 3-5× face value. But untill I feel I have my own nice collection and start getting doubles making money is out of the question. I like this hobby for me because of what I'm learning and because it's essentially free. And I keep everything I like seprate like the non round nickels and really anything 60+ years old. Thanks for the info and advice like always:)

Okiecoiner I'm willing to come from Markham to pick it up if he does take it and willing to pay for it. Lol

I suspect that that there not any where near the number of Canadians looking for very minor errors in their coins as are Americans looking for very minor errors in theirs.

In this regard Canadians are more like the British or Europeans, and consider very minor errors in a much more trifling way.

It is a pity that the large body of expertise built up by American coin error collectors and researchers cannot be well spent in doing die linkage studies for ancient coins to consider date sequencing and mint die style.
I feel that they don't realize the high level of die identification skills that they have built up, and how those skills can be better utilized.

I have owned hundreds of Canadian clipped coins, but I have never found any in pocket change. Most of the clipped coins were cents dated from the early 1960s up to about 1984. The mint must have tightened up the manufacturing process considerably after that. It's been almost 30 years since clipped coins have been regularly released & most were pulled out of circulation quickly - not many grade worse than ~ EF-40.

No idea but my prized possession is an 1880 doubled die obverse NFLD 5c. It's roughly AU-58...not quite mint state....and has gorgeous toning on it. I keep meaning to photograph it and post....

Back on this question, I am curious if there is any large doubled dies like on American coin, I have seen some very nice examples but nothing where the images are actually separate. I'm finding minor doubled dies fairly often now but even pre 1980 it seems like all the doubling is single squeeze die style doubling.

One article I read said Canada switched to single squeeze dies in the late 1970s is it possible they experimented with them before that? Or is this info located on the RCNA possibly?

Edit:my auto correct is quite annoying blah.
