Now that I know a certain CCN columnist likes to cut and paste my posts from this forum, I generally do not post my new (and big) errors I acquire. I had been sitting on this one for almost 6 months now, while waiting for my paper to be published in Errorscope. Please do not ask me for a reprint of the Errorscope paper, I would encourage you to join CONECA, where it is available for you to read online as a member.

Before showing the photos, I should remind a certain columnist and editor of Canadian Coin News that these images have been published in Errorscope, and are thus my intellectual property (Canadian copyright law) and also copyright (2013) of Numismatic Error collectors of America (CONECA) Inc. The Errorscope is an official publication of the Numismatic Error collectors of America (CONECA) Inc. Written permission is required to reproduce these images.

Lastly, acknowledgements are given to those who helped me with this piece in the paper, some of whom are CCF members here.

A triple die cap?!?!?! I can surely say I've never seen one of those on any coin before! A superb find indeed wherever you got it!

That is one stunning error Roger. Hopefully I will be able to make the RCNA convention next year to see some of this tuff in person.
