Re: 1971 BC CDN $1
Welcome to the forum. That looks like a partial Struck Through Grease, a minor type of error. As far as the rotation, the Obverse is not lined up properly,turn it slightly to the left and it should line up OK. I guess you are also aware that is a nickel dollar, not the silver one. As far as errors g...

Re: 1993 Brass coloured penny

Re: 1945 Canadian half dollar near & far 5.
That is because the last two numbers where hand punched into the die. With each die, the location would be slightly different. You could have a near, medium, far, high, low, depending on where the mint worker punched it. As there would have been approximately the same amount of coins from each strik...

Re: 1943 Canadian half dollar die crack reverse.
Die clashes are fairly common on early 40’s fifty cent coins.
