Quote: There was a total of 9 in that roll That is the most I have heard of from a single roll! My record is 4. I search a ton of BU 1967 rolls, and don't come across them very often. Good eye for spotting those!! What do you estimate their grades to be? Mint state varieties carry a decent premium, and ICCS will certify them as a Doubled Die Obverse (helps to send them the URL to this thread).

Sorry but I am having an issue here. If these are really from a "recut" die the rolls should be 100% the same? If people are finding 0 to 4 to 9 in a roll doesn't this tel us this is just a kind of Machine Doubling we do not understand? This seems way more likely than repeated mixing of strikes from a very scarce recut die with normal strikes. I just don't buy this.

Smallcentguy , the coins end up in bins of thousands before they're sent out to be rolled ,so one would expect coins from different dies to be mixed.These came from Canadian Bank of Commerce rolls . I'm no expert for sure , but I don't think the mint keeps coins from each die separate

Not from a recut die. The mint stopped 'recutting' or re-engraving dies in the 1950s. This is punch (or hub) doubling of a single working die. Remember that several presses operated simultaneously and the coins converged on to a single conveyor belt in order to pass by the riddler (to remove undersize fragments) and then on to another conveyer where it would split into a larger tray with several intakes into bags.
For some reason, this obverse die of this did not produce a lot of coins. It either broke early, which is feasible since the raised elements on the die would be quite fine with the doubling, or the doubling was noticed on the die and it was removed from service - we will never actually know. But, when this die was striking coins, it is entirely possibly to find several in a single roll - kind of a like a feast or famine analogy.
