Upon further inspection I came to notice that the doubling is identical on both 1975 and 1976, so to cut to the point is there any way that the Obverse dies from 1975 could have been used in 1976 for any reason? I'm just curious to know how the exact same doubled die can happen 2 years in a row, and my thought was maybe the mint used some left over obverse dies from 1975 to mint the 1976. I do know that for 1975 there was over 650 million minted, and in 1976 there was just over 701 million minted, so that is where I got the idea maybe they borrowed some leftover obverse dies from the previous year, I guess you could say kind of like what happens with a mule coin.

I'm sure that has happened almost every year since the first Canadian coin was struck. It's obvious when it produces mules such as '73 large bust quarters. Some obverse dies have been used in overlapping years Apparent on some coins to those who study such things. In your instance you have to find a die marker to prove your case.

Numis-Northerner Pillar of the Community Canada 857 Posts	Posted 08/31/2020 05:03 am A recycled die from 1975 being used in 1976 also happening to be a double die? The only reason I could argue against that is because the odds of one dies reused being a double die seems like a lot would have to line up to happen. But that's really the only "argument" I can think of. Report this Post to the Staff
