JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 05/25/2020 7:28 pm Looks like some filling around the queen, somewhat common. You can find this on some 1964 nickels as well as other denominations with no addd value as far as I am aware. http://goccf.com/t/344509#2949571 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

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 05/25/2020 7:43 pm Overpolishing of the die, the intent was to extend the die life as long as possible. With your coin, the obverse die is in a more severe state of deterioration than the reverse. Some collectors have given these all kinds of odd names, like "crying Queen", "spitting Queen", "floating ribbon", etc... Usually you see two types of overpolished dies: 1. where the polishing or Die Deterioration abrades the sharp edges of where the devices meet the fields (also shown in your coin's obverse); sometimes, in George VI coins, it appears as a "halo" around the King. 2. the polishing erodes the surface of the die, so that the shallow devices are near or at the level of the fields (highest part of the die).
