This one is a 1929 cent, with the CENT doubled. Unfortunately, where CCCS benefits in identifying varieties, they come up short with proper nomenclature. The doubling is this case, is not from re-punching, but from ejection doubling.

1946 with the doubled 6. I could not manage to get a good photo of the 6 through the plastic (note to self - do the macro photography before certification). This one is quite scarce in mint state, and after searching for a decade, could not find a better one - so I decided to certify this one.

For the Extra Spine hunters, this is a good one from 1957. I have not searched this type extensively, I suspect better ones exist out there. Apologies for the photography through two layers of plastic.

Always a fun year, this coin is probably the most extensively doubled I have seen. While the digits do look tripled, this is a phenomenon from Die Deterioration Doubling. Coins doubled to this degree also have a significant die rotation (15 degrees plus).

Your 1979 resembles the coin I have listed on ebay. The condition of yours tops mine. Is there doubling of the C in Canada? |

No idea. Mine came from a roll and I sent it in to CCCS myself - hard to place a market value on these things.
