Prominent die clash on both sides.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I don't deal in coins after WW1 and errors is not my niche. I'd say you have a clash at the back of Geo's neck, another in front of his nose, a clash under the 5 cents, looks like the beaver dropped a tooth below his mouth on the log, the Obv denticles from 5:00 to 6, a Rev clash to the right of the beaver lower back, and I don't do well with computer photos. I don't see anything with the rim and no polishing that I can see and I don't know what "mad" stands for.

MAD(misaligned die) and the rim at 5-7 o'clock there is extra metal in a few spots, looks like other a slight folded Rim Fin or tiny rim Cuds. Edit: thanks for pointing the clash out I'm not good at identifying them, though it was a die crack. Is it a die crack under FG? Going through the water lines? Does not look like a clash would show there. Also I didn't check out the obverse but can see the clear clash from the waterlines behind George's neck, very cool. Edited by Wrekkdd

So far I'm at die clash, MAD, Rim Fin, die crack , at lease one form of doubling, possible die chip under the beavers chin, an possibly a little over polished die. Edited by Wrekkdd

Im curious about what 7 things you see Bill?
Edit: the die polishing I speak of is minor, you can see it on the beavers neck and the stomach,from what I can see in the polished area of the belly there is die polish lines. You have to zoon in on the stomach where it connects to the back leg on the high point but it's looks kind of like the linea from the 1991 bare belly but in a very small area.
This is what I can see from the photos provided anyways.

Well you've picked out 6 of the 7 that I have on my list. Here is picture of a different coin but the same reverse in a slightly earlier die state missing the die clash. Because of it being in an earlier die state the seventh anomaly is more easily seen. I'll reveal my list with close-up pictures later today. I've got a feeling someone will pick out the seventh with this new photo. Cheers, Bill  |

I can see lines under the tail there. Not sure if it would be from a feeder finger, or possible die gouges. Or it could be part of the clash... Hmmm.

Bit of an odd feature running from the beaver's tail to the top of the D of Canada. It is seen on both coins. A set of parallel die gouges perhaps?

I'm not seeing the double lines on the obverse. Just the die clash behind the neck, but you have a better eye for this stuff then me SPP. What ever those two lines are on the obverse I want to say they are #7 on the list because I didn't include them in my original 7 guesses.
Sure is a lot going on with this coin, I like it! If that's all 7 thanks for the fun guessing game:)

Well done you have them all. This is my list. 1.Die clash above and in front of the beaver. 2. Unknown doubling in "ADA" of Canada probably Die Deterioration. 3. Collar clash bottom of coin. 4. Small rim fins below the collar clash. 5. Die crack bottom left. 6. Damaged die the two gouge lines running over the logs below and above the beavers tail. 7. Over polishing of the dies especially the water lines on both sides Thanks to all for participating. Cheers, Bill     |

 Ooo I was not sure if it was the front beavers claw I was incorrect about or the die polishing. The front claw in the first picture seems much more pronounced the the one in the second picture. For an earlier die state I imagine the polishing would have worn the claw down more. Maybe there is 8 die events:0? More likely it's just the slight lighting difference:p. Thanks again I did really enjoy this |
