I finally got back my small beads 5 cent varieties from CCCS and at least they agree with me. The next step is how do I get the full description on them? Is he not allowed to do this? First set is tripled die, second set should be Quadrupled die.   |

Before posting a reply, I would like to see the
reverse with a closeup of the doubling.

The most impressive is the denticles on half the coin are rotated/pivoted like vertical stepped beads in 1234 marking the pivot point at the 7 o'clock position. But beware I have seen mdd on other coins that mimic the same, that are not.

Maybe you need to send Louis Chevier a copy of John O'Conner's book, then send your coins with the page numbers for his reference.

The book has the 5/5 doubled die listed true and is only for a 2 hubbed coin. The problem is that the 5/5 doubled die was used on the concentric lathe lines variety in witch he dose not write lathe lines on it as requested only 5/5. I also sent some 1965 small beads die clash (Tusks) 5/5 with the designation 5/5 die clash under neck of beaver. I asked for tripled die and got the term doubling instead. (a broad term). I also asked for Quadrupled die with the 5/5 doubled die added as a multi variation but still got the doubling with the 5/5 instead. (a broad term), this means to me it is just a 2 hubbed coin in reality the coins do not exsist yet so the book really dose not add any thing to the coins other than it proves these 5/5 doubled master dies were re used or re worked for further coin production. There are 3 markers on the production of tripled and quadrupled. They are the K, the back foot hits and the denticles showing class 5 pivoted/rotated hubbing. I'm happy with the coins being real but still not attributed correctly. I would think because of no written littiture on the varieties he is limited what he can put on the slab. I always thought a coin had to have 2 sided cameo to get the designation or is that in the USA only?

Thanks SPP,
So would the next step be to contact Coins and Canada and the Canadian coin news. Could anyone tell me who would be the variety/error specallists that would be interested in studying them?

Do not expect much of a response from Canadian Coin News... My advice is to study them yourself, and publish your findings in the CN Journal, if you are a member of the RCNA.
