1987 Voyageur Proof Like Nickel Dollar With Doubling

Great SPP, I was looking at the obverse with the loupe and
there is obverse doubling on the legends as well. Not sure
of the significance. Hard to photo nickel, went old school,
tripod and diffused sunlight.

Here are some obverse pics.

In the first picture, the E L I in Elizabeth doubling can be seen.




Look at the DG REG area in the second photo.

Thanks SlurExe97. Tried that with my wife's
phone tonight, would likely be easier in sunlight and you
need three hands; one for the loupe (20X), one to hold the
camera and one to push the bloody button. OK I'm old.
But the pictures are not bad for a rookie.

So I don't know what it means in the grand scheme of
things, both sides are doubled. Machine, hub, field, will
narrow it down with more study.

In this case the first strike is not pushed down to the
level of the field, so not flat field doubling, it has the
characteristics of Machine Doubling. Steps are noticeable,
and the second strike makes the letter smaller by shaving
some off as a result of movement between strikes of either
the planchet or the die.

Not bad eh VancouverIslandCoinKid, have my geology hand lens and a Samsung phone,
seems like a mix of the new and the old. Fumbling around and all thumbs. Should
be an app for a super zoom with those cameras. But not bad in the end. So what
do you think of the error on both sides of the coin. How'd it happen?

Reverse Pics here, I think I'm getting the hang of this,
you can see the grain of the coin;

Those are excellent pics, you're getting the hang of it quickly! I'm back on my computer now.

I can see doubling on the 8, second A of Canada, I think they are MD, not totally sure but the 8 looks MD. I'm not sure why it only affects a few elements

I read your article in the CN Journal about it SPP. Didn't know it's common - it's my only one.

I don't want to hijack this thread, so getting back to the original topic. I don't know about the relief of the 1987 PLs, but might the relief of the northern lights be lower than the letters? MD can happen partially only on the higher relief while the lower reliefs aren't affected.

Great photos!!
