Now that's a link I wish was in an FAQ somewhere on this forum. That has taken my knowledge of doubling varieties to the next level. Now if only someone had a 3D animation of how each variety is actually created, I would be happy :)
Thanks Bill :)

Those big photos really help!  I think your photo which shows how the "doubling" of REGINA is actually cut into the normal thickness of the letters is a sure sign of strike/machine doubling. |

Hi,
Look at the dots too. The metal is so moved as to make it appear to have a small dot on top of a large dot.
Have Fun,
Bill

This penny is very interesting to me. Malissa has the date wrong, it,s a 1979 cent. It,s like the back of the Qweens head is squared not round like all my other pennies. I will have to study on the link given in this post. Thanks for posting the penny Malissa and everyone for the help.

1979 Canadian cents are more likely than not to have some degree of doubling on the obverse and reverse in varying degrees. I have rolls and rolls of BU coins from that year and they all have doubling. Chalk it up to worn dies and Machine Doubling. Edited by chrycopaul

my topic heading said it was a 1972 until I changed it a little while ago.
