Canada 1 Cent 1960 Hanging 0

1960 is a tough year to get any error, let along hangers. I have over 200 hangers from 1953 - 1964, with most of them being different, yet Coin Chick is right, so few of them are dated 1960. I've looked through literally tens of thousands of pennies and while single hangers, doubles, even triples (with the odd quad or even quintuple thrown in) abound in most years, you have a tough time seeing a decent 1960 single or double. I don't see it being a low mintage problem, as hangers from the 1920's through the 1940's seem readily available, as well as the well-known 1859 hangers, yet all those dates have much lower mintages then those pennies from the 50's and 60's. The upshot is that I don't know myself; it's a bit of a puzzler. The only thing that might be an answer is that the hangers from 1960 that I've seen all seem to be fainter, like they weren't clashed as strongly. On circulated coins they would almost be invisible, and on the ms coins they would be harder to see, and thus ebay sellers don't notice them so as to photograph them properly to show off the clash.

Anyone else have similar thoughts or am I just talking through my hat?

Anyway, nice score on you, Coin Chick, for finding such a nice one!

Here is my 1960 hanging

Finally dug mine out.....1960 double hanging 0 with doubled date and double C in Canada as well. Quite a decent one...probably MS64.

I'm still hunting for my 1956 hanger E-Bay has some nice one up for sale,the only 56 hanger on E-Bay had carbon spots on it.

I have a bag of 50's and 60's errors, yes a few 60 hanger and a few dbl date, have to check but I hoarded a whole bunch away last year. Not sure if they'll go up much in price but one never knows.

Is it me or is it not a double hanger?

Looks like a double clash to me too. Nice cent.
