I don't see how it could possibly be produced. Just try to rotate the dies around with your eyes. Someone at the mint had some time to kill and still be unnoticed.
well fellows:
Yes it is my coin, and
Yes, I agree with you guys. Nevertheless, it is an interesting coin, regardless of its history and "fame".
and, it carries a nice price tag.
Guys, think about it.... how could that be normally produced? the odds?? worse tha nwinning 6/49
when I obtained this, there was also a 50 cent piece... similar with the double howling wolf.. but I decided too late.
just remember, back in 1967 the mint employees ahd smoke break... through the back door and......the rest I leave up to your individual Imagination.
However, the coin is recognized as a legal coin due to a court decision back then.
enjoy it...
I've been in the US for 16 years now, and I've experienced US rarities that are beyond comprehension. Coins worth multiple millions of dollars have been under my camera lens.
Still, humble Canadian coins give me a nice warm feeling since they're what I started with. I was thinking about my grandma the other day, and she had saved an old circulated 1911 "Godless" large cent that she gave to me one summer. She remembered having it when she saw some of the pictures of large cents in the "Striking Impressions" book I was reading at the time.
That cent is long gone, but what I wouldn't give to have it back.

Here's a rare token restrike. Tough to find. Coin needs to be reslabbed due to a dull case but very cool history. The die was stolen and made its way to England. In 1894, the individual made restrikes of this the first Canadian coinage. He struck few of these in copper, bronze and silver. The silver restrikes are in the 7-8K range. This is $1,200-$1,500.
Dr. Eugene Courteau called the Habitant series “one of the most interesting … of the Canadian tokens,” in part because of the obverse figure wearing “the national costume at that time.”
Two recent gambles on raw Newfoundland halves. Probably both have had a light cleaning years ago but have retoned nicely. I'm hoping they will be acceptable for TPG encapsulation. They should be based upon the numbers of more obviously cleaned, hairlined coins I see in TPG slabs these days. I don't see a rash of cleaning hairlines on either coin. These are the seller's photos and oddly enough, are not the most flattering pictures, particularly for the 1876.
I did a small ICCS sub 2 weeks ago and got my grades today, this 1872 H quarter graded AU-55. When I was filling out the submission form, I cherry-picked myself and realized this was an 1872 H 7/7 overdate! That made my day.
I'll post a few others from the submission when I get the photos edited. I took them before the coins were graded so I don't have to struggle shooting through the ICCS plastic.
This is another coin I sent off to ICCS, it graded MS-63. I posted this one earlier in this thread, but I took some more photos before sending it in. I hope nobody minds me re-posting a few coins now that they're graded.
Nice coin indeed, I am curios, never had this ICCS in hand, to me this looks way good, simple and to the point, can you post an image for the opposite side? Or can you view both sides of the coin?

Thanks.
It's a heat-sealed 2.5x2.5" flip, so you can see both sides of the coin. The ICCS insert is sealed on one side, and the coin on the other.

Gorgeous stuff, spirityoda!

It's obviously cool, but my opinion is that it was intentionally produced.

I love that map early on in the thread. I wish I had a map for each of my coins. Maybe this is something I can work on! Thanks.
