I can see a glare line where you describe the doubling but A better photo would help. I am a little sceptical about the possibility of doubling with this coin. The reason being I would expect to also see signs in the legend. Such signs aren't there. However, as New zealand doesn't have its own mint and tenders out coin production to the lowest bidder any thing is possible. Report this Post to the Staff

MUDEKI New Member New Zealand 28 Posts	Posted 04/11/2015 06:42 am I know this post has long been forgotten about but I just noticed it while surfing the net. This coin is a circulating type as the circulating and set coins were produced at different mints they actually used dies that were rather different. You will also notice comparing this coin to coins from sets that the number 8 and dress detail are different. Most years from 1969-1979 with the exception of 1971 were made at the same mint so we often find people buy sets to get mint coins but for coins in the 1980's it is a lot harder to find true unc coins now as more people find out about the differences Self promoting my website again but photos are here of the comparisons :-) http://wp.me/P4A88C-iZ Report this Post to the Staff
