Hi: I have two 1935 Canadian George V silver dollars which have some accumulations on the reverse. Do these accumulations add any value to a coin in any way?
Also,there were 428,700 plus minted,how many of these accumulation varieties would there be out there?(guesstimate?)Thanks,Huck50

I'm not sure if you use the same terminology in your country, but in the US, we call this machine doubling. A slight bounce during the strike flattens out part of the device. You can tell because of the flat, shelf-like appearance and also how the "doubling" cuts into the device rather than adding to it, like a doubled die would.

Here, it's refered to as die shift although I believe machine doubling is generally understood. ...I think we're talking the same thing, no? http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-err ... hift&id=14

Thank you for the link. Yes, that is exactly what I am referring to. It is common here in the states.
