I was told to post this over here since you guys are the pros when it comes to errors even though its a Canadian coin. Has anyone seen anything like this. Looks like there are 2 and a bit beads of the crown to the east of the crown with part of the neck running down below it. Basically an exact replica of what is to the west. If you look closely between the crown and the markings in question it looks as though the bottom strap continues from the crown to the markings.Thanks    Edited by Kman

This would only be a giess, but the secondary "profile to the right, indisates to me that it may a flip-over, and struck agasin. A clash would have the profile reversed. The "flip-over', I think, and I may be wrong, would be something like a brockage, or something like it.You might send an email to John Regitko, at errorman@look.ca. He is very well known, and a Canadian. He can answer your queasrtion.
Hope this helps,
Dick

It is interesting. I am sure you will get more responses. I don't even want to guess... 8*)

I would have to know what's on the other side and align them together to see if it's a clash. That's what it looks like to me.
Best bet is to take the most common causes first and eliminate them. A flip-over double struck coin would be scarce for one, and this coin does not exhibit the characteristics of such an error.

Here is the other side. Canadian coins are ^^ when looking at the sides unlike US ^-. so if you flip the coin west to east it the obverse and the reverse sides will both be right side up thanks   Edited by Kman

Looks like die clashing from the maple leaf on the reverse.

I wish the pictures were better. It doesn't look like a clash to me. Actually the closest I can see it looks possibly like a double strike but not a flipover double strike.

An overlay shows that nothing is going on in the fields in that area from a clash:   Interesting. Edited by coop

Did you email the person livingdinasaur suggested? If it were mine I would probably start there.
