1963 5 cents Doubled Beaver Head +

Post by coinvault » Sat Sep 13, 2025 3:33 am

Here's one for you to ponder on, it's a 1963 5 cents with what appears to be doubling around the beavers head and the back half of the back. also either machine doubling or Die deterioration on the 5 and word cents. also some on the letters D & A in Canada. any info as to what the doubling around the beavers head would be. thanks

If it is Die Deterioration, there could be many of them struck, depends on when the RCM retired the die
after the deterioration started
