Interesting.....I have one(maybe 2) of those. I'll have to take a look at them.

 

I've been looking for one of those for a long time I actually couldn't believe I found one and I bought it instantly

 

Coin looks PL too .

 

After a quick look. The one I have is a 1966 and I have 2 1978 Canadian Mint Sets which have one in it. I know there is one more around here somewhere. I will look for it later when I have time, and let you know. I do like the obverse of this coin!

 

I've been around Canadian coins my whole life . I live in Michigan ...

 

There's a little more info on Die #5 .

 

I totally understand. I was born in the UP (Hancock) and grew up in the mitten (Owosso). Treated Canadian coins the same as US coins. Down here in Florida, they won't accept Canadian coins anywhere.

 

Interesting information. Thanks for the post.

 

There are actually several different doubled die reverses. The Extra Waterline (XWL) version is the most extreme of this (DHL-1, PCGS #606913). The other main one is the DDR with the larger offset notching of the date (PCGS #529729). What used to be called DHL-2 is no longer in the Charlton Catalogue, as the top horizon line is doubled in all strikes, except where there is die polishing/deterioration with the Small Island and No Island types.

I wrote an article on the 1968 Doubled Die Reverses, in the CN Journal (journal for the RCNA) a couple of years ago.

 

Is there images over at PCGS of those registered coins

 

Great pic's and information. Thanks

 

Might be a coin I have to get authenticated . Now I just have to figure out to who to send it to .. I'm open for all suggestions

 

I have a strip of five from the mint but all appear normal to me. Oh well, it was fun to get them out and look.

 

I picked this one up on eBay 22 bucks

 

Here is the set composition, with varieties. Just click on the coin of interest.

I see potter has them all listed .
If I remember correctly, potter the one that made the numbering system for canadian coins .

I'll have to check in the morning see if the Indian hair is doubled . According to potter write up, that's the rare .

Also according to potter these are proof like specimens not business strike .

Which I know mine is one of the proof like ones .

 

Differently has the doubled feather .
Attributing as VCR#3/DDR#1 .
