I posted the pics of a 1958 DDR I found a while ago and I found another dollar with even stronger doubling. I know some people are going to call it MD but look at the top of the N in Canada, also the doubling looks similar to the type on the George the 6th cents. and sorry for the crummy obverse and reverse photos. Also sadly the coin has a good amount of ugly tar-like toning. doubling on the C and on the A but the toning makes it hard to see Top of the N I think its the most obvious sign of doubling top of the D Doubling can be seen on the bottem of all letters in DOLLAR
I've seen a lot of that microscopic tripling along the edges of letters on Canadian coins of this era. To me it's an artifact of hubbing the dies multiple times. I agree that much of what we're seeing here is MD or DDD, but not all of it. (Example from 1947ML 50c)
Whether it came from dies being used and worn out after too many strikes or the hubs or matrices being used too many times to strike new dies, it's not an error or a variety. It's normal tired wear tolerance. The mint wasn't making surgical instruments.
