Hmmm, another double struck coin? Finding one would be quite the rare occurrence but someone from Canada finding two of them? That strains the limits of credulity and I think you may have someone in your area manufacturing dodgy US "errors". The obverse is in perfect alignment but the reverse is rotated 20-30 degrees which should not be possible with a double struck error.

 Either he is lucky, or they are manufactured. |

This coin makes no sense...The rotations are off...if it was double struck in collar wouldn't they wouldn't they have the same rotation?
Also it doesn't look like it was hit with enough even pressure...wouldn't we see the impression on lincolns bust of the Reverse design?
Just my questions...

This morning I saw a specialist here in Montreal and he told me it was real coins, not a vise job. I'm now to the step of grading it. I will let you know when it's done.

I've encountered a well-executed fake almost identical in appearance to this coin, also dated 1985 and also a flipover double strike. As with my specimen, I suspect the second strike in this specimen was administered by counterfeit dies. As with my specimen, the second strike was tilted. A flipover, in-collar double strike with a tilted die on the second strike is implausible, but not impossible. But two in the same year is not credible. Moreover, with this degree of tilt, the second strike should show a very strong design rim along with the development of a marked fin at the rim/edge junction. Both are lacking in this specimen. My specimen was encapsulated by a leading grading service. However, I had my purchase price refunded after I pointed out its fraudulent nature. I'd like to write up your specimen for Coin World as an instructive lesson in well-executed counterfeits. If this idea appeals to you, please contact me at mdi a 1 @ a o l .com. -- Mike Diamond Error coin writer and researcher.
