bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 10:34 pm Let's make a list! Feel free to add a date and/or refute other people's claims with a (well-known) variety. I'm thinking Canadian circulation coins, and varieties with a fairly wide scope (mintmarks, portrait varieties, significant Die Deterioration varieties, >45 degree rotated dies), but excluding one-off errors. I'm not sure if the list is even well-defined as such, but we can take a first stab at it. Examples: 2011 is out because of the magnetic and non-magnetic cents. 2010 is out because of the Olympic quarters. At the risk of being shot down, I'll start with... 1988 Report this Post to the Staff

These are all the dates I have post-centennial: 1970 1971 1972 ~~1974~~ edit: yes, thanks EastVanRob! ~~1975~~ edit: thanks, SPP! I don't know my nickel dollars very well ~~1976~~ 1981 1986 1988 1989 1990 ~~1991~~ edit: a significant rotated die exists on the cent 1993 1997 Any objections? What about pre-centennial variety-free dates? Edited by bibd 09/01/2011 04:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
EastVanRob Pillar of the Community Canada 617 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 10:35 pm 1974 has the 3 varieties of double-yoke dollars and the missing S 50 cents, so that's out. 1966, 1965 and 1964 have major dollar varieties, among others. 1962 has a major nickel variety. How about 1961 and 1963? Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 6:55 pm What is defined as a "major" variety. Certainly Zoell separated what he interpreted to be "major" and "minor" varieties. 1970 1c coins can have the 0 doubled ( Die Deterioration) 1972 1c coins also can have the 2 doubled by the same mechanism. Hans Zoell considered "doubled" as major varieties, but we know now that what he interpreted as "re-cut" dates was actually Machine Doubling damage, or ejection doubling, or even hub doubling. I consider those to be minor varieties, but fun to hunt nonetheless.
