I have had a couple of these now doubled Voyageur, native, canoe and tree all on the right side I have herd them called the Ghost dollar but don't know if that is the correct name for it. I have never seen any write ups on this coin in the past just wondering if anyone or anything was researched on them.   |

That is indeed the ghost dollar. I have a beautiful toned one, PCGS SP-67... I just have not gotten around to listing it yet on my ebay store. The real thing that nags me is, where did the term "ghost dollar" come from?

I'm not sure where name come from but that's all I have ever herd it called.
Is it die shifting,machine doubling, double die what is the proper name this one is SP-66
Did you ever research these for rarity and premiums over the normal SPP.

TheForce if you look at the voyageur and the native starting at the face of both people and there lower arms everything shifts to the front hope this helps. I don't know how to draw on the image

Hello TheForce, there is a doubling of the strike on the right side of the tree branches and the arm and face chest of the paddlers. You can see it on the top of the paddles. It is a step like cut along the edge of the design. Here is a good site for errors; http://www.error-ref.com/machine-doubling/ |

papeldog and silver don I checked my 1972 nickel dollar. I have the same ghosting. I noticed some thing different. the water lines are not the same. take a look tell me what you think. there must have been different dies. just never seen it listed anywhere. its either the waterlines or the beads. that are different.   |

i checked the catalogue the 1972 are suppose to match. the 1968 and 1969 so they should have denticles. you guys have got some thing there. if I am seeing them right.

Try checking both the Volume 1 (circulation strikes) and Volume 2 (NCLT collector issues). The 1972 cased specimen silver dollar has the "ghost dollar"... one coin is silver, larger and thicker than the other. You are comparing coins struck by two entirely different dies...
