    My thoughts:

    Pareidolia or outright hallucinations.

    Why would the Canadian mint trim down an Ike?

    Where did the Canadian Mint get an Overstruck Ike? Why didn't 2 added strikes obliterate the first one?

    Like the doctored photo showing a copper edge.
    Nice try but I don’t think anyone is going to believe this.

    "crazy" is the operative word here.

    Femomination, that's when your mother blames you for something she only thought you did.

    I don't think the OP is experiencing paredoilia, I think he/she is paredoilic. ;)

    On the contrary, Google is not your friend.

    I think what you're looking at are run-of-the-mill clash marks from the reverse die, not an overstrike. The detail above the Queen's crown looks like a match, not for the detail of the Liberty Bell from the Bicentennial Ike that you show, but for the large windows on the reverse of the Canadian coin. See the semicircular depression in the lowest horizontal line in your detail of the Canadian coin. The lines in the detail of the Liberty Bell don't show this feature, but the windows on the Canadian coin's reverse do.

    Clash marks occur when the dies come together, without a coin blank between them. The dies strike each other leaving faint impressions of the reverse design on the obverse die, and vice-versa. Because the low points of the coin design are the highest points on the die, the marks are most visible in the fields, such as on your coin. When clashed dies strike a coin, the clash marks appear as a mirrored (flipped left-right) image of the clashing die, with raised and sunken details reversed (due to the additional transfer to the clashed die, before being transferred to the coin).

    Clash marks can be very dramatic visually, but usually add no value to the underlying coin, unless it's a well-known variety collected by die variety specialists. I'm not familiar with this Canadian series, so don't know if there's any special interest in a variety like this, but based on the collectability of similar varieties in the US series, I would think it's a low probability.

    This looks like another bologna thread from someone who either should know better or actually does know better.

    Correct but the question is who?
