chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 1162 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 12:54 am I always remembered Ken Potter saying that alot of Canadian Double Dies have yet been found. He encouraged me to always look and by golly I think I found a 1975 Double Die on a 5 cent. The ELIZABETH II is showing me it. I will post the REGINA separately and you gotta see that side of the coin, Enjoy the pics. Report this Post to the Staff

Even the Queen has it too. Like to know what happened here? Enjoy the pics. Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5631 Posts	Posted 03/20/2023 7:46 pm Personally, I don't think that it's die doubling either, but I'm sure not an expert on this stuff. I think that it's a combo of DDD and MD, as the above poster comments. Report this Post to the Staff
chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 1162 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 12:33 am I'm swinging your way on this also and attributing that way. Deffinatly going in a 2x2 holder. Going to research the REGINA if others have found Die Deteriation to that effect. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 03/22/2023 3:45 pm The Regina stuff I've seen called "ejection doubling" or ejection damage - "shows metal pushed sideways into the lettering and then pulled upwards during ejection." Basically the coin briefly sticks in the die a little during ejection, is the way I interpret it. I see it in the raised metal above the serrated edges on yours. Report this Post to the Staff
