Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 05/28/2018 11:27 am I came across this 1968 Canadian nickel that the beaver on the reverse is showing doubling on its head. Everything else on the reverse is crisp with no signs of MD at all. I am curious as to your thoughts on this as this isn't MD as it is not shelf like. The doubling is NOT reduced in size so its almost making me think it could be an over abrated die. I don't believe its from a high bounce from the die either. However, I have been wrong many times! Insight please. Edited by Jim0815 05/28/2018 12:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74504 Posts	Posted 05/28/2018 5:56 pm I'm wondering what this weird "doubling" could be. My thought was Die Deterioration Doubling, but I'm not sure on this. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

The doubling is not a shadow and not shelf like most MD coins we see. It is high and rounded and not reduced in size. I'm pretty baffled with this one.
