amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 08/21/2012 8:34 pm Ok so I'm just gonna ask. I have noticed that some of the "doubling" on Canadian coins would be considered Machine Doubling by U.S. collectors, and would hold no premium. Is there a different standard for Canadian coins?

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 08/22/2012 12:30 am Depends what elements are doubled, how much offset there is in the doubling and if the coins are in mint state condition. Doubled numbers in the date seem to be the most desirable, doubled obverse legend or beads seem to be the least desirable...

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 08/22/2012 12:36 am But it is not a doubled die...it is simply bounce or Strike Doubling? It would be considered a normal occurence on a U.S. coin. Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 08/22/2012 12:40 am Right. So is there a premium on these? There would not be for U.S. coins....Some here may keep these coins as an example of what not to look for when searching for doubled dies.
