On both it is seen on the crown, forehead, nose and bust along with the beads and some of the lettering. PS my phone casts a shadow in the 2nd pic for each coin making it hard to see, the 3rd/4th pics were taken with my microscope that has better lighting. 1971 1973 Finding and discovering modern Canadian doubled die varieties since 2018. 2023 Recent Publications: Modern Canadian Doubled Die Varieties - First Edition PDF & Paperback https://www.mcddv.ca (website currently down for maintenance as of 08/01/2024) Report this Post to the Staff

JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 03/24/2019 10:14 am I assumed it was probably fairly common when I found the second coin almost instantly after the first one but I figured I should ask just in case and my setup is a fairly inexpensive one, I have a desk with my laptop, a table lamp that bends and I bought a fairly cheap USB microscope with a built in zoom wheel and a ring of LEDs from ebay for around $25. It's kind of funny because although it was cheap it seems to have better lighting than my iPhone, so I use my iPhone for full pictures and I use the microscope for close ups. I highly reccomend the USB microscope to anyone wanting to get nice close ups of errors.
