jimper I hope you dont minded. I borrowed your images to test them against mind. I have been checking coins here on occassion. my coins 1586 of 4500. I have an image I would like to share with you. I rotate this image by one thousanth of and inch either way. I can make ours images so that they are exactly the same size. no matter how much I work with these 2 coins images. they are not the same they were not struck at exactly the same points. the dies are slightly different. you being a mint master you know the new pressing rules. so you know how many times they have to change these dies. here is the image you can not line these up your coin has the shorter inscription. I wonder whos coin does the bulk of these coins compare to yours or mine. have a great one  |

with only 4,500 coins minted, even if double struck, that would be less than 10,000 strikes, given testing , etc..there would only be one set of dies used,there is no way another set of dies would be used for such a small run of coins, unless there was a catastrophic failure of the original dies..
with the utmost of respect, the program you are using can only be as good as the information put into it, to compare 2 coin photos, taken from 2 different people, at different angles,2 different light sources, and 2 different distances, there is no way to 100%, line these photos up. Now, if you were to use a camera in a locked position, and photo 2 of the same coins, then your program would be more effective,for sure.

The NCLT coins are struck in Ottawa with super slow speeds like 1 or 2 coins a minute and double struck and handled into a tray one by one. As mentioned by previous poster a set of dies would outlast the mintage figure many times, just curious what is the new pressing rules ?

@rocky
It might be the lighting or the camera on my phone. The coins should all be the same as they were stamped out from the same dies.(I would think)

no jimper these are from different dies. jimpler did you read. the report on pressing rule change at the ottawa mint. I did, the new press has a press counter. the figures given in that reportroughly 10 die changes. some where another set of dies came in use. thats why the differents in the over lays. to bad we could find out what the possible counts are to these different dies.

At Winnipeg, soft metals like pennies the dies last close to a million strikes while a toonie about 200,000 strikes, just can't see how a 4500 mintage at these slow speeds would need more than one set of dies. If so maybe that"s why the 1 oz. coins are 120.00 each
