chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 1159 Posts	Posted 12/20/2016 10:58 pm Went through a new 1 cent roll of 1979 and I have 2 different coins here. Coin #1 I found only 1 with a real nice Obverse Die Shift. Coin #2 is a hanging doubled 979 and just wondering how common is coin #2? Not much into varieties! Report this Post to the Staff

Alex A Pillar of the Community 710 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 08:53 am The doubling is fairly common on 1979 pennies. Anywhere from 1 to 3 digits of "979" may be doubled. If you check through a bunch of 1979 rolls you are likely to find a few examples. Happy Holidays! Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 10:42 am This is Die Deterioration Doubling... if you hunt hard enough, you can find the entire date doubled.

TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 821 Posts	Posted 12/22/2016 01:08 am There are a huge number of these. 25 years ago you could find lists of varieties of 1979 cents in Canadian Coin News ads from major dealers. Double date and lettering, ridges at the nose, throat, neck, nape, die clash ridges under the leaves, dots around the date, even something referred to as Spock Ears. Report this Post to the Staff
