west- canuk Valued Member Canada 497 Posts	Posted 05/21/2011 2:30 pm Searching through a couple of tubes of old nickels for die cracks, I found two 1950 nickels with obverse die clashes, one with a very obvious hearing aid. These must be fairly common for this year since I had only a dozen of this year to look at. They're well beat up from circulation but the price was right - pocket change.

cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 05/21/2011 8:25 pm Look on the reverse to see if you can see the matching clash. My those are heavy marks. I do love die clashes although double HP is better. Happy hunting. Report this Post to the Staff
west- canuk Valued Member Canada 497 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 7:14 pm Didn't notice any clashes on the reverse, if there were any where would they show up, in the fields around 5 Cents and the date? Were double HPs seen in nickels ? Report this Post to the Staff
mysterious_dr_x Valued Member Canada 284 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 6:45 pm Clashes on George VI nickel on the reverse tend to be mostly at the beaver's nose, a vertical curved line caused by the back of the neck. Also the jaw/throat can leave a mark above the date, and the hairline can be visible in "CENTS". That's what I found mostly. Report this Post to the Staff
cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 7:33 pm Yes double HP's are found on nickels. I have a few but can't remember the dates. They are on quite a few dates. I don't believe prices are set on doubled HP nickels yet that I know. Report this Post to the Staff
west- canuk Valued Member Canada 497 Posts	Posted 11/24/2011 11:32 pm OK cownick, you've piqued my interest, time to dig out those double HPs and post some pics please. Thanks dr_x, guess there is a clash by the nose. Report this Post to the Staff

staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 3:39 pm The photo below shows one of the die clashes that runs from the leaf downwards to the rock. There is a distinct indentation under the chin. The obverse is almost identical to the original post. Report this Post to the Staff
