Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1223 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 9:18 pm This coin just came in the mail I had picked it up off ebay, I new it had a weak strike from tired dies by the obverse pictures supplied in the listing but the rev. seemed really nice so I bought it. Now after taking pictures of my own it appears there's some doubling on the portrait and maybe some around the legend. I've looked through all of Zoell's work and nada thing. What type of doubling is this? Anyone know anything about or see this before? What would you grade it? (Remembering these pictures are blown up big and it looked much better in hand.) All helps greatly appreciated.TIA Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 9:25 pm Nice looking nickel. I'm between EF45 and AU50. I'd love to see the doubling on the legend better, but I think it's Strike Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 09/16/2015 11:34 am Looks like ' Die Deterioration Doubling' mixed with some ' Machine Doubling'.. Report this Post to the Staff
aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 09/17/2015 08:29 am We can definitely see that the dies are deteriorating, but I am not sure if that is the reason for the doubling. My guess is machine/strike doubling. Like chequer, I'd like to see a better picture of the legend doubling. As for grade, I'd give it XF45.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 09/17/2015 09:01 am Machine doubling, if all the elements are doubled in the same direction... bring it to Coin Expo, so we all can look at it!

Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1223 Posts	Posted 09/18/2015 08:45 am Thanks to all for tjhe comments. I'm having trouble getting a closer picture of the legend I've only got a point and shoot camera and these pictures are about.as close as I can get. There's not really much doubling if any on the legend that I can see. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
