1961 Canada 5 Cents Die Crack and Possible Re-Engraved Date?

Post by CADRollHunter » Mon Nov 14, 2022 8:44 pm

Hello, everyone! I just found this nickel, and I'm wondering if anyone has found anything similar. It features a significant die crack/break from rim to rim, from just to the left of K.G and to the WSW of the first 1 in the date. I've scoped it and viewed with a loupe and can confirm it's raised metal and not a scratch along the surface. Additionally, the second 1 features what appears to be the features of a re-engraved date at the base of the number, very similar to what you'd see on the 1962 "Double Date."

Just wondered if anyone has seen other examples from this die.

Thanks!
