mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 01:59 am Hi all. Are there sources on doubled dies for Canadian cents. I believe I found one in a bank roll from the US. Also, does anyone know of one on the obverse from 1971? Thanks, Mike Report this Post to the Staff

mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 02:33 am Thank you, I will post one tomorrow. I don't have my camera. I can tell you there is pretty major doubling on her forehead and nose. Kinda looks like the 1984 double ear Lincoln doubling. Also on most of the letters and the "dots" that circle the perimeter of the coin. Ring any bells? Mike Report this Post to the Staff
mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 9:46 pm Here are some photos. I could only get so close with my camera. When I get an attachment for my microscope, I'll post closer photos. Also, notice the doubling in the bust and lips. Thanks for looking, Mike Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 10:10 pm Hi, I think your cent is MD. Compare the noses on QE II to the documented DDO below. See how the forehead and nose look "cut into" vs. a secondary impression in the die? Australia 1962 "double nose" penny DDO Image was taken from this site on Australian coins.

mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 10:29 pm I think you're right. What's going on with the rim. Is that from the MD also? Thanks for the pic. That's a great site. I have world coins to go through, it will help. Mike Report this Post to the Staff
snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 04:30 am Hi Mike, I do believe that is Machine Doubling, and Die Deterioration... I think. No expert of course, But you did ask for opinions. ;) Report this Post to the Staff
