1967 Canadian Dollar DDO?

Guess this one is a waiting game for the Doubled die expert:) the strike jitter on some of the legand and MD made me question this one but after looking at it over and over I am almost positive it's a doubled die. The H is what stands out the most for me,the bottom of the Is and top of the R I see the splits as well. I'm skeptical as it is the first 67 dollar I have purchased and with others looking(especially at this year) that if there was a doubled die for this year it would have already been discovered. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

Sure I'll post the E's and Z. I stayed away from them as doubling is not obvious and they have MD




What do you think?

Edit: my mother in law has 4-5 67 sets I could check for the same doubling next time I'm over there to see if it is master hub doubling. Master hub doubling would show on all of the 67 dollars right? She only has 2 sets like this one I think. The others are in a box with blue velvet if I remember correctly.

If it's master hub doubling then the doubling would not be anything special as all working hubs would have the same doubling. There could be some with MD or Die Deterioration as well but the doubled die would be apparent on every 1967 dollar. If I had another one on hand it would be an easy check. The bottom right of the H is enlarged with a split serif. If anyone has a dollar without that it would not be master hub doubling. I have never though about it but I guess even with master hub doubling there could be a doubled die from a working hub as well even on master die doubling.

As this is the first 67 dollar I have looked at and have on hand I cannot judge this.

coinman91,

Master die doubling even on the highest of grades will not get any type of recognition when it comes to premiums, the 2006 nickel for example has one of the most severe forms of what would have been a massive doubled die, if it had happened during the creation of the working die, but instead, it happened during the creation of the Master die, resulting in every 2006 nickel minted showing master die doubling.

Wrekkdd,

In a sense yes, it could be considered a variety if two master dies are different but I dont think it would ever see a premium or full recognition as one, we are talking about master die doubling being present on 3+ million 1967 dollars from a 6+ million mintage.

Also the amount of coins doubled would depend on when the error was noticed. Meaning it could be the most common variety or a scarce one.

If it's a question you can't answer then it's out of my league.

Wrekkdd,

If you look at the "H" on the double legend that coins and Canada have listed, you will notice that the cross member of the "H" has a visible line that can also be found on the "H" of your example.

That line would be from the master die doubling, the only difference is the one on coins and Canada has severe Machine Doubling that erased most of the master die doubling that was present.

Take a look at the top right serif of the "H" on your example and look to see if you notice the area marked in the photo I provided below.

Background photos are just a screenshot of coins and Canada's listing, the photo in front is Wrekkdd's first image he posted (for those following).



I am pretty firm on this being master die doubling and super common, unfortunately.

For now, I will mark it down in my notes to re-visit and when I start doing my research for Volume two ill take a look through some 67 dollars and update in the near future.

Thanks Johnwayne007!
