doctorman1941 Pillar of the Community Canada 504 Posts	Posted 08/26/2011 11:49 am Is this common with the 1970 nickels to have an extra beaver in front or it looks like one. Report this Post to the Staff

bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 08/26/2011 1:23 pm By "extra" do you mean "1 instead of 0"? If so, then yes. If by "extra" you mean "2 instead of 1", then no. But I'm afraid I only see 1 beaver on this coin. edit: By the way, that's sure a nice looking coin! Edited by bibd 08/26/2011 1:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 08/26/2011 1:27 pm I am guessing you are trying to say that you see some sort of doubling of the beaver, particularly in the head area? I zoomed in on your fairly good image provided and maybe can detect a bit of Machine Doubling on that maple leaf and maybe some on the rock under the beavers nose but without a really good 20X clear image, determining a double die is not possible from looking at your image. I suspect that this is a normal coin though. Report this Post to the Staff

cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 08/26/2011 7:27 pm Yes indeed, a very nice coin for sure. In going through uncirculated rolls that is quite common on all dates. You have the right to call it a double beaver but I will call it die bounce. Everyone should have one. Good eye. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 12:09 pm Looks like a PL (proof-like) strike. You can find all sorts of Machine Doubling damage (MDD) on PL 5c coins all through the 1970s.
