alterego New Member Canada 9 Posts	Posted 04/22/2008 12:10 am I am a fairly new collector of canadian coins and was browsing through some online reference on mint error coins and I found a die variety list that details some of the known errors. For one coin in particular it lists three possible errors. The first a double date, the second a rotated die of 135%, and the third was a misaligned die - lists it as laterally off-set 3% at 10:00. It's mainly the third I would like more information about, am I essentially looking for a slight rotated die or a shifted image or something else completely different? Thanks, Brendan Report this Post to the Staff

It is very difficult to determine the actual rotation in degrees in Canadian coins, because the obv does not have a definite "000" point, and the rev is the only face that gives any reference point, as sucj.
