Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 07/24/2012 12:37 pm I would like to see the edge of the coin to see if there is a "partial collar" effect from forced re-entry into the collar. Given two different mints, the older date being over top the newer date and the strong 1982 date being in an area that should have been weak (flattened) by the the strike, my vote without being able to examine it in person is that its not a mint error.

Can anyone suggest a good one either in Canada or the USA? Thanks Are you asking about grading or authenticating/attributing ? Coppercoins is an expert on varieties and Mike Diamond an expert on errors...both attribute coins for a small fee. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 9:39 pm I don't believe this is a genuine double strike. Two different dates AND two different mints is implausible, but not impossible. However, the strongly tilted second strike (carrying the date 1982) is the straw that breaks the camels back. This coin was not struck by soft dies. This is a well-executed counterfeit strike delivered by hardened, carefully fabricated dies. You see the sharp but incomplete penetration of first-strike details through the second strike. You only see that effect in genuine double strikes and sophisticated fakes. This is the second dubious double strike presented by this individual. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
