canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 9:26 pm struck/hammered with a "False Die"...yes...but why make a false die that ONLY duplicates the REGINA, the beads around the portrait and the denticles ? Why would someone make a "fraction" of a false die...then hammer this coin with it? So far, I dont see any good explanations. for the 1968 dime, there is no displaced metal under high magnification (in your example the metal is literally coming off the coin)...the shape of the 8 is very odd.. btw...Roger..I recognize this 1976 Double struck quarter...i wanted to add it to my collection back when it was selling for half the price a year or two ago ...

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 9:38 pm When analyzing error coins, I don't ask myself "how was this made?" I ask myself, "Knowing the blank production process and coin striking process, could this have occurred at the mint during the rolling, punching and rimming of the blank or in the striking chamber, by the dies?" If the answer is "not a chance" - then I don't buy the error.

M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 9:39 pm It makes no sense as to how ....... be it the obverse or the reverse get's an extra hit of the partial extending to the right of a strike without impacting the left side of the strike. How can such a strike be explained within reason. Keeping it within the chatter of the original and secondary strike without fields being affected by such. Would that be a die clash that had A full strike of the anvil die and transferred the strike to the planchet that was in mid spit out of striking the complete and angled?
