It looks like a mint worker put about 40 blanks in just to see what would happen. At 105g its nearly as heavy as the average roll around 125g. Truly amazing, ugly and expensive and Id love to be the proud owner of "The Thing"

Mint workers can make up all sorts of things.
Is it an error if it was deliberately created?

The way I see it is if it came off the minting press looking like an error then it is an error whether man assisted or not.
Others may have a different opinion.

darryldarryl..and all others ....How do you think we should value the double-struck 67 dollar?
Should the DS 67 be considered an important collectable even though it's a back door job?..Just asking and wondering out loud...

I'm surprised there aren't a lot more back-doors given the premiums people pay.

There are HUNDREDS of back door jobs in Canadian numismatics. 67 dbl & triples, 10 dollar olympic stamped with 1978 coin dies, two tailed 1 cent coins, etc etc etc 1969 dbl and flip dbls, 1980 11 cent coins, they are just that back door jobs no more no less. Errors are accidents. Back door jobs are as the name implies. I will not comment on this coin(s) as they are spectacular. :-)

 Dramatic and desirable fabrications,not to be confused with errors. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Certainly spectacular. But how does that make them errors?
Head in sand if people can't see how "error" back-doors are easy to create.

@ Devlec
Back door job or not, the coin has an error therefore it is an error.
We all know that huge premiums are paid for these.
Again...the coins shown above are absolutely stunning!

What a gem! I saw it in CCN and now easier to see here. How many more will be seen like this and in what denomination next?
