No thoughts on this one yet? It has the appearance of a doubled die to me but I can't find anything about a doubled die for the 67 dollar. I do see MD on the coin but the splits seem fairly obvious to me unless I'm missing something?  Edited by Wrekkdd

Unfortunately I am "shunned" from the Canadian collectors on this forum. Johnwayn007 has been offline all day from what I have seen. He is most likely busy with his book as it is supposed to be published very soon. I wouldn't doubt he has already seen this one before, but as I can't find any info online about it u figured I'd get clarification. As I have never found a nice doubled die before. Hopefully he will have some time to stop by eventually.
Edit:shunned by the veterans** not the whole forum.

Guess this one is a waiting game for the Doubled die expert:) the strike jitter on some of the legand and MD made me question this one but after looking at it over and over I am almost positive it's a doubled die. The H is what stands out the most for me,the bottom of the Is and top of the R I see the splits as well. I'm skeptical as it is the first 67 dollar I have purchased and with others looking(especially at this year) that if there was a doubled die for this year it would have already been discovered. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

More photos would be needed, specifically the two "E" letters and the letter "Z" in Elizabeth.
Doubled dies from the 60s are tricky to determine on larger denominations since most feature master die doubling to some extent, the "R" in the photos provided is familiar in this instance.
I have not searched many 1967 dollars in particular, but I do know that the half dollar and the nickel for 1967 both have master die doubling present and I would not be overly surprised if the dollar did as well.

Sure I'll post the E's and Z. I stayed away from them as doubling is not obvious and they have MD    What do you think? Edit: my mother in law has 4-5 67 sets I could check for the same doubling next time I'm over there to see if it is master hub doubling. Master hub doubling would show on all of the 67 dollars right? She only has 2 sets like this one I think. The others are in a box with blue velvet if I remember correctly. Edited by Wrekkdd

I agree those letters seem to show some Machine Doubling. If many 60s coins show master hub doubling at which point do they carry a premium? The split serifs here are enough for myself to question it being MD for the entire coin. Edited by coinman91

If it's master hub doubling then the doubling would not be anything special as all working hubs would have the same doubling. There could be some with MD or Die Deterioration as well but the doubled die would be apparent on every 1967 dollar. If I had another one on hand it would be an easy check. The bottom right of the H is enlarged with a split serif. If anyone has a dollar without that it would not be master hub doubling. I have never though about it but I guess even with master hub doubling there could be a doubled die from a working hub as well even on master die doubling. As this is the first 67 dollar I have looked at and have on hand I cannot judge this. |

You will have to check some more 67's and see if they exhibit the same doubling, if they do then they would be considered as common master die doubling and would be found on virtually every 1967 dollar that was struck unless two master dies were used, that info I do not know until I take my trip to the Bank of Canada Museum when they are open so that I can conduct research for Volume two of my book.
There are doubled devices, but finding out if it happened during the creation of the Master die, or Working die is what you will have to do next, I do have a feeling this is normal though as the 1966 Dollar also features a similar form of doubling.

coinman91,
Master die doubling even on the highest of grades will not get any type of recognition when it comes to premiums, the 2006 nickel for example has one of the most severe forms of what would have been a massive doubled die, if it had happened during the creation of the working die, but instead, it happened during the creation of the Master die, resulting in every 2006 nickel minted showing master die doubling.

So if this is a master die doubling then all it would take to confirm it is not is one other 67 without the same doubling? And if there is others out there without the same master hub doubling then this would still be considered a variety correct?

Wrekkdd,
In a sense yes, it could be considered a variety if two master dies are different but I dont think it would ever see a premium or full recognition as one, we are talking about master die doubling being present on 3+ million 1967 dollars from a 6+ million mintage.

I'm not on a budget to just buy 1967 dollars to research as every piece I buy will not be going to me,with the odd exception(none yet)
I feel you might know something I don't about this, hopefully in the book. If not I'll probably know before volume 2. I'll check my in laws as soon as I get a chance.

Also the amount of coins doubled would depend on when the error was noticed. Meaning it could be the most common variety or a scarce one.
If it's a question you can't answer then it's out of my league.

So simple looking at coins and Canada and the images of the doubled legend I can say if it's master hub doubling it's not the same as the images they have of MD on the legend. So at least a minor variety but possibly an actual DDO. |
