I always check my change for whatever type of varieties or errors I can find. I have found 3 nice Doubled Die coins as of late. Two 2102 Loonies...One is the security version with a basically complete Doubled Obverse. The second is a 2012 Grey Cup Loonie with nice doubling on the reverse. The third coin is a 2012 Security Toonie with a doubled Obverse. I will post pics of the First Loonie here. THis is the security version. Have a look.

There are quite a few pics.

Full OBV & REV pic:

These next shots show doubling of the motto. Notice the notching:

The reverse is normal. It is my first major Doubling I have found on a loonie that is not just common MDD. Please feel free to comment. I will post the next coin in a bit.

Nice finds, I don't usually check my loonies for doubling but now I will for sure.

I have found 2 x 2012 Loonies with the OBV doubling. Not sure why I said "notice the notching" LOL! I was thinking of the other coin. I do agree with the hub doubling.

Love the clear pictures. The closest I found was a toonie with the legs doubled.

Fantastic pictures, thanks for posting them. And I never bothered looking at toonies and loonies, either, but I'll keep a lookout now.
Thanks for the info.
