change4thebetter Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 12:02 am Was looking at Coins and Canada's site...no mention of doubling of Canada...is this an odd error for this year. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

errorrorre New Member Canada 25 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 06:11 am Fantastic doubling on your '78 change4thebetter! Even the left leaf appears doubled. Is this an example of hub doubling, do you think? Looking forward to the opinions of others on this one. Great pictures :) Report this Post to the Staff
numidan Valued Member Canada 219 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 10:25 am Like HelzelsCoins indicated, the doubling is due to Die Deterioration and not hub doubling. It is a nice find when DDD is both on the whole date and on CANADA. Report this Post to the Staff
change4thebetter Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 1:29 pm Thanks for replying errorrorre..numidan..HelzelsCoins. I appreciate the input from all..I'm still in the process of learning about different types of doubling and I do understand about Die Deterioration Doubling...It's interesting and a part of the "error coin" family...albeit the "outcast" of sorts by some. Thanks again...and thank you errorrorre for the compliment Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 4:16 pm I don't think it is hub doubling. But, it is one of the most extreme examples of 1978 1-cent Die Deterioration Doubling I have seen. My personal bias in this collecting series is that I primarily focus on only the date (I have a thing with numbers) and I roll search to find them in gem grades (MS-65 or MS-66). 1978 is someone analogous to 1969, 1975 and 1979 with respect to being a progressive doubling, and to date, I have found the following combination of doubling of the date: doubled 8 (see photo, ICCS MS-65) doubled 78 doubled 978 doubled 1978 doubled 19 (this one is the only one that eludes me in mint state condition) "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.
