Wondering if someone can answer a maybe silly question! Are double struck coins minted in coin or medal alignment? Edited by JeyRey2000

in Canada all of the modern coinage is in Medal (both facing up) while the USA coinage is reverse.
for the 1967 silver dollar there are some that were struck upside down, and some that are diving.

there were some pre 1900 Canadian coins minted in coin alignment (but you were mentioning the 67)

So I am guess a double struck coin alignment would be quite rare?

It's rare but is it about $2000.00 Canadian rare?

Back door job.
Sad that these are recognized as errors.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Sad that these are recognized as errors  .....but that doesn't mean I don't want one  . I see them more as an optional almost variety of the series and also cool representation of the mischief at the mint during that period. Feel free to call me Will.

Yes, these are back-door coins. The orientation of the dies could have been set anyway during this clandestine operation. Each coin is unique so the orientation should be of little concern. The images in the link above do not suggest any particular orientation over another -- though I'm not sure if the same as your subject coin. That needs to be stated in the text and it is not. I think I could live without owning one of these due to their history.

I think when they were taking pics/scans they just flipped the slab upside down while on the other side like with American coins not realising that Canada uses medal orientation.
Feel free to call me Will.

Say what you will but they are very nice, eye catching silver dollars.

Way to be subtle coins are cool. Usually I would not put up a site to possible source.
That being said yes it is what I was talking about.

I agree they are very nice and eye catching. I just couldn't get myself to pay that kind of money or anything near it for a back-door item. But the same can be said for the 1913 Liberty nickels -- so what do I know? LOL |

I would not mind putting either the "Diving Goose" or the "Double Struck" in my Birth Year Collection to replace my PL66 version.

Now for a guy that doesn't want to purchase back-door coins, I sure have no problem with having them minted for me. I had this one minted for me with my dies a number of years ago by the now defunct Global Mint. It's Double Struck; 1st Strike normal, second strike through a State Quarter. Die has large Cud. I also own a silver round struck from this die with a pre-cud die crack where the Cud evolved.  From left to right: Obv of medal with State Quarter as struck, Obverse with State Quarter removed, Reverse of medal, reverse of State Quarter brocked by obverse of medal.  This is the actual die used for the obverse. Now this piece cost me $1.75 + 25c for the quarter to Mint. I can handle that! Edited by koinpro
