SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 05/27/2019 2:03 pm I realize some error collectors would wonder why I would bother have error coins certified and graded. I do this, not for my benefit, but for the benefit of those who will eventually sell, or buy, my coins. Some of these errors, while drastic, have left some coin dealers scratching their heads as to their legitimacy, basically because they had no idea what they were looking at. These are most definitely legit, and an error collector would handily recognize them as such... Having them in PCGS holders also means I can keep these error safely tucked away in the safety deposit boxes, yet share them through the PCGS Gold Shield photos. Lastly, there are price point differences for some of these coins, due to their grade... you can click on the images in the links below, and a larger image will load. 1962 Double struck, flipped over in collar: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/37951190 Super common as a type error for 1969 (mint sport), but extremely rare in all other dates. I have many examples, but very few are preserved in gem mint state condition. I suspect they are not easily spotted in common change... 1963 Broadstruck: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/37951191 Broadstruck coins from the early 1960s are not scarce (especially from 1963), but to have them struck to where they expand like this, is unheard of. My only example like this. 1963 Double struck, 2nd strike 10% off-centre: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/37951192 Most double struck coins are 90 to 98% off-centre (craating the partial brockage indent strikes that we commonly see. This error type is much scarcer (thanks again Mike!!). Note that the second strike is without the collar... 1963 double struck, 1st strike 40% off-centre and 2ns strike 99% off-centre (or vice versa): https://www.PCGS.com/cert/37951193 The way Canadian presses were set up - saddle strikes and chain strikes like we see in US coins, do not exist with Canadian coins. This is about as close as it gets to a "saddle strike" - but this is two separate strikes by the same dies. 1964, 165 degree die rotation: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/37951194 Not something that jumps out at you... but definitely a condition rarity. Most 1-cent coins in my collection with near-upset dies are circulated... -------- More to come later...
