Discovered in the 1970s some of these coins feature a moderate doubled die variety on the obverse, noticed most prominently in the lettering “D • G • REGINA.” This doubled die exhibits pivoted hub doubling, which most people require magnification to see. But for Canadian coinage, where true doubled dies are seemingly scarce, it is significant.

An example of this doubled die variety recently was submitted to PCGS and was noted as the first submitted and requesting this variety attribution.

    When I buy a collection, I buy it all. Partly to be helpful, partly to make a few bucks, but mostly because I've got "the disease". You would be amazed at some of the %&#@! stuff that passes through my hands!

    Now I'm going to have to go through all those 1967 OBW Canadian 1c rolls in that box in the hall closet!

    I've got a bag of some date in the early 60's. Thank God they didn't find a doubled die on one of those. I'd have to look at 5000 coins!
