Englishpicker Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi. I bought this at the weekkend from an old guy who was selling off his collection. Any ideas how this could of happened as only one side is doubled. The coin weights right, not magnetic and is the correct size and thus I'm 95% sure its not a fake. Also What would be a value on something like this, as I'm not sure if I paid too much. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Should send to TPG for an opinion. Some believe that the 1967 $1 errors were intentionally made by a mint employee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I would follow the advice you've received on Predecimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I think it well established that the double struck dollars were deliberately made by mint employees. One online site lists values: http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?coin=1-dollar-1967&years=1-dollar-1953-1986 I believe the Canadian courts declared them legal to own since they could have been struck accidently. I think having only the reverse die rotated, rather than the struck coin having rotated in the dies, suggests someone struck the coin, rotated one die, and struck it again. I would have it authenticated since all the examples I can find are rotated on both sides. If your piece is genuine, I think it pretty well confirms that it was made deliberately.
