How common is the doubling in the word Canada, has anyone seen examples of this that are extreme. Please post pics if you have any to share. Cheers. I recently aquired a good strong example of the doubling. Will post pics once in hand. Edited by M_d_in_guy 04/06/2017 4:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

pasasap Valued Member United States 190 Posts	Posted 04/07/2017 11:34 am Most of the doubling that I have seen on the 1979 pennies are machine errors. Although machine errors are popular among Canada penny collectors, they are considered damage by most error collectors. It would be interesting to know if your error was a rare doubled die error or if the doubling was caused by the minting machine. The reason why 1979 has so many errors is because there was a problem with the minting machine. This issue caused all kind of errors, but the most popular is the doubling of the date. But, machine errors are not restricted to the date only, and in many cases you can find doubled letters or even doubling of the portrait. Since the word CANADA is so small as compared to the numbers in the date, I imagine doubled CANADA coins go unnoticed by most collectors and dealers. I have a 1967 with a doubled CANADA, but you have to use a 40X power loop to see it. Nice find anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
