Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 01:17 am Looks like a lot of doubling going on here on the obverse. Can anyone confirm what Iam seeing? If so I might go for it unless someone beats me to it. Thanks http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canadian-19...em5af44830e7 Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 11:37 am I thought these coins where not supposed to have errors like doubling I know I could be wrong. Basically I agree its probably just the camera angle or something like that. mmm still tempted though, that's the only way to really know and it is a nice coin anyway. I feel like Iam trying to talk myself into it. Report this Post to the Staff
Valiamo Valued Member Canada 122 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 5:39 pm That one is so hard to tell. The camera angle and the lighting may be causing what looks like doubling. Could also be the holder catching some of the light. Her chin and back of the hair look so very doubled... Report this Post to the Staff

1PPCLI Valued Member Canada 61 Posts	Posted 09/01/2013 12:42 am I just saved the picture of the coin and opened it in paint. If you look closely (200 times regular size), all of the doubling isn't going in the same direction. If a coin is doubled, shouldn't it be doubled in the same direction all over the coin? I don't think you can have a coins that's "Doubled" in two or three different directions, can you? This would lead me to suspect that it is camera angle along with the raised letters and numbers on the coin. Just a thought Chuck Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 09/01/2013 01:17 am Either way doubling or not its 23.3g .500 silver, quality coin and good window dressing. But I really bought it to look at it and check it out. I been moving towards dollars a bit lately they've been catching my eye. If it so happens to be doubled out, bonus. Thanks for all comments Report this Post to the Staff
1PPCLI Valued Member Canada 61 Posts	Posted 09/01/2013 01:39 am I can't deny that it is a very eye catching coin, the field of the coin looks like a mirror! I think your right, either way you have a nice coin now! Report this Post to the Staff
