Wondering if this is a die chip, die fill, etc..type of errors? They are all over the coin. Thanks as always. Edited by upc239 04/11/2016 2:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 6:07 pm I would agree with Paulsz, you can see the way the extra metal fades out in both directions. Report this Post to the Staff
upc239 Valued Member Canada 135 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 5:05 pm Thanks. Is this a common occurrence for circulation coins? Report this Post to the Staff

upc239 Valued Member Canada 135 Posts	Posted 04/25/2016 5:05 pm Thanks for the input so far. Is it possible that this error is specifically a die accumulation error? As mentioned in the link below: http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...lations&id=5 Report this Post to the Staff
Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 04/26/2016 2:58 pm Yes and no. The images for "Die Accumulation" on that website do appear to be Die Deterioration error coins. The word "die accumulation" however, is not accurate - actually opposite to what the die would look like. The die would appear to have a concave surface at the point of the error, rather than a raised surface as the word would imply. When struck with a deteriorated die, coins will have extra raised areas, additional to the intended design. Report this Post to the Staff
