John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 06:24 am Canadian coins is not my area. I think your coin is MD and would be considered a variety not an error. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 07:05 am A fairly common place for MD on Canadian coins, I see them up on ebay for 1$ usually and they don't sell. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5588 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 07:29 am MD is an error, not a variety. It's caused by the die being loose in the chuck/holder and it slightly rotates/moves in the nanosecond after the strike and as the die is rising from the planchet. A variety is an anomaly put there on purpose by the mint(new effigy or font) or the mint floor person(like for handpunching a letter or digit to clean it up). Varieties are complete with good working machinery, proper alignment, proper pressures and good planchets Report this Post to the Staff
TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 821 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 5:38 pm I found so many of them while roll-hunting in the 1970's to 90's that I stopped looking. I must have returned at least 100 low-grade ones back to circulation years ago. Edited by TerryT 11/17/2021 5:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
