okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5584 Posts	Posted 11/01/2025 5:42 pm Looks like MD or DDO to me, so not a variety or error, and no real added value. Keep it as an oddity. Edited by okiecoiner 11/01/2025 5:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

That is a Doubled Die. 2012 Loonies are known for DD's on the obverse. E&V, Machine Doubling reduces the size of the letters, A Doubled Die such as in this case increases the size of the letters. Just look at the dots and see how the size has increased, not been reduced. Just something to remember. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73628 Posts	Posted 11/02/2025 11:27 pm Thank you, JimmyD. I'll make sure to remember that. I'm usually good at telling the differences, but this one tricked me. After looking at the dots, I agree that it's a DDO. Nice find, Meandice. Errers and Varietys.
