TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 06/24/2022 12:26 pm I was having a look at what might be a struck-through mark in the waterlines in front of the canoe and found a die crack close by instead (not sure if the mark was a struck-through or a scrape). Looked some more and found another die crack at the back of the canoe. Flipped it over, and found some strange things; extra metal in various letters and a die crack in ABE. Also a tiny crack on the T of GRATIA. Would the extra metal be a result of plating coming off of the die ? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95423 Posts	Posted 06/24/2022 7:44 pm Well I see a die crack across the bottom of Elizabeth from Z to T. MD on the devices. Possible rolling lines or polishing marks on the field. Extra metal coming off the die, most likely, no. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 3:46 pm Thanks SPP ! I had to look up "flat field doubling" and found out it's caused from the second strike on a proof coin being slightly mis-aligned and leaving part of the previous strike. WOW, I've got a proof-like 1953 dollar ! PL-62 ? Report this Post to the Staff
Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1221 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 4:16 pm When I first saw the coin in the original post I remembered having a coin with die cracks at the front and rear of the canoe. At first I thought my coin was the same as Terry's coin above but after a closer look it appears to be a different die all together. Note this coin is a short water line variety where Terry's has full water lines also the exact locations of the die cracks. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
