Nice of Anacs to designate it both a MS and PL dollar. FYI, from past experience, I can tell you that ICCS won't be calling it a PL67...or a PL 66, but still a nice coin for the $$ paid.

Picked up this one recently.... http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/Coi...7&sid=121634I decided to start a PCGS registry set with the PL 1-cent strikes - getting this one out of the way early should make it easier... The photo is by PCGS, probably darkened to enhance the contrast of the cameo. In hand, the coin is not dark and most certainly very red. I guess my ICCS PL-66 Red will be going up for sale soon...

@SPP-Ottawa: That's an amazing coin! in grades above 64, I've found that PCGS grades harder than ICCS. A PL67RD must be spectacular in hand. Must've cost a fortune too, the latest PCGS PL65RD went for $345 at HA but that was the belzberg piece...

A PCGS PL-65 Red example should easily fetch $1400 plus... Hugh Powell has an ICCS PL-66 Red, and he is asking north of $3000 for that example. This is not a hard coin to find - it is like a 1948 dollar. They are out there, you just have to spend money to get one...

I keep coming back to look at that coin SPP. It's the reverse, that really gets me.

My bad, it was a Typo, PCGS auction results say the coin is PL65RD but it's actually PL64RD. here's the coin: http://coins.ha.com/itm/canada/worl.../312-15162.s |

So does that automatically mean that we are looking at a Grease Filled Die here on this 5 cent nickel piece..? ... ...or can other things make those weak or missing details happen and the reverse die strikes or is it a flip strike also. Lot's of interesting "added strikes and details" also in that nickel.. . . . Edited by DEVLEC

Look closer DEVLEC.... that is double struck in collar, second strike is a flip strike....

So Roger...What you're saying is that the first strike makes the perfect coin.
...and the second "flip strike" removes and/or adds the extra details that we are now seeing in this nickel.
The high points get crushed or removed by the high flip points and the low flip points shows the added letters etc..like the crown in the rev left leaf ,..and the letters in the lower part of the obv bust.
The ear and the field in front of his face also shows some harder to distinguish additions from the flip strike.
Very cool..
