SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10464 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 01:43 am They refer to the designer's initials, in the base of the bust of the Queen's young effigy. I don't have a Missing MG photo, but there is a darn good photo of a Missing M here: http://www.cointalk.com/t128493/ "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

1188howest Valued Member Canada 470 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 02:25 am Thanks SPP-Ottawa,and I'm aware of the description of the error.I unfortunately have a AU cent with complete die shift doubling on the obverse lettering and a deeper than normal effigy with the MG doubled and barely visible under x20. I do believe the cause of the error is die shift only and all the 1964 1 cent Can. coins having this error will have obverse die shift lettering. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10464 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 02:42 am I have two in mintstate condition, one in my collection (MS-65) and one in my inventory (MS-64). I can check them tomorrow for you, and let you know if I see anything. Here is a link to mine, but not a good photo to study! https://goccf.com/t/132927 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 1:25 pm SPP-Ottawa The missing 1964 Missing M. Is it considered a variety or an error? Do you know if it is the result of a over polished die or something else? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10464 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 2:05 pm It was always assumed to be the result of an overpolished die... the die-shift lettering idea has to be tested against known examples...
