Double struck coins with the 2nd struck 95% off-centre are somewhat common (it is what causes small indents with partial brockages). Double struck coins, both strikes in collar are scarce. But, I think this one is rare. It is the only example I have like this, in my collection. Here is how I see this: First strike is 40% off-centre on both sides. The second strike is about 98%, however this one is uniface, suggesting that another blank planchet was loaded underneath and this one just slightly overlapped for the second strike. Somewhere out there, is a 1963 with a small indent to match...

How cool. Great assessment of the chain of events that possibly caused this to happen.

This looks like a tandem (saddle) strike. There's a visible "hump" in the direction of the hammer (reverse) dies, and the spacing is similar to the spacing seen in contemporaneous US coins. I was unaware that the RCM used dual or quad presses. Error coin writer and researcher.

Quote:I was unaware that the RCM used dual or quad presses. The RCM does not. Saddle strikes, like those we see on US coins, are impossible with the RCM presses. However, the form analogy is quite similar, isn't it...
