    can't really tell, but I'm in the camp that says that once you get to that kind of magnification on the coins you can find just about anything... I don't buy any variation that says I have to see the coin magnified more than 10 times to get an idea of what is going on... JMHO

    Looks like a doubled die to me. Neat find.

    Well, one thing you'll never find, no matter how much magnification you use, is evidence of hub doubling (doubled die) on a non hub doubled coin. That looks like the typical notching from hub doubling and would be easy to spot with a 10x loupe. Cool find! From what I've seen (or haven't seen), modern Canadian doubled dies are not very common.
