1940 Canadian Silver Dime Errors?

Coop, you bring up a good point here about the misaligned die. My opinion is that a misaligned die is a term used for error coins to describe an error. If the alignment is off but within tolerance then it is not a MAD. One die is uncentered a little but not enough to be called the error. If we use the MAD term too loosely then it can get confusing to collectors just starting out. This is kind of related to the discussion Bill and I had yesterday with the lamination on the 1956 cent. Bill made a very good point that he didn't like using the word lamination when the condition was caused by damage. This also applies to other errors like rotated dies. If two dies are rotated a little bit, say less than 5 degrees, then it is not considered a rotated die error so is it truly correct to say they are rotated dies. Personally I don't think so. But this is only one person's opinion and one person's opinion does not make an answer. How do you feel about this and does anyone else have an opinion on the use of these terms.

Also I agree with you on the die crack. I missed that when I was looking at the coin before. If it were a crack you should see it in the letters also. Good catch.

These guys covered it pretty well Malissa. Cool coin!

I love those error coins Malissa. The 1943 even has a large section with no rim denticals, or as I call them "railroad tracks" and it,s on the obverse and the reverse. The 1940 looks like it has a double line for the front of his neck. I of course seen your dimes and although your pictures are very good, they dont do your actual coins justice. Nice post, very interesting.
