Re: RARE DISCOVERY 2023 CHARLES III Loonie, error or not?
The cost to certify would be well more than the coin(s) would ever be worth. Just keep them safe and you already know what they are.

Re: 1888 double 888 with possible obverse doubling and maybe die chips?
Yep, the dies were getting tired during the '88 strikings. It's nice to have all 3 8's repunched. There are i, 2, 3 repunched and sometimes the 1. Lots of '88 varieties.

Re: 3rd Sail Dime?
Please remove the above 2 posts in this thread by me, Bill in Burl,. I got mixed up and posted info on the third, or extra, sail on the toonie, not the dime. But I'm sure that the posted reason would be the same ... an error by the Mint.

Re: 3rd Sail Dime?
Yes, there was extensive discussion on a thread or two in the past on toonies and dimes. It just has the "name" third sail or "extra sail". It's just that the mint put their "cameo" treatment on a blank "air" section when it just should have gone on the sails. There were actually 3-4 small sections ...

Re: 1941 cent with corrosion
I see just a tad bit of wear in the hair, plus the corrosion which will grow/deepen. As it is, ID say AU 50, maybe 50+, but details.

Re: 1944 Canadian half dollar with die cracks.
Try to find the 61st edition of Charlton that has the 50 cent varieties in the back .... Ebay and other places.
Or you can refer to the excellent work found here on the 50 cents:

Re: I think i might have found a gold mine
Were the prices in US or Canadian dollars? Scrap silver price for Canadian coinage is a little less than $20 Canadian so that would be for each face dollar with next to no wear. If you sold to a dealer, you would get $16-17 Cdn. If they were US coins, they would be worth more. If you paid Canadian $...

Re: 1979 double date with doubling on obverse
I agree MD. If you blow up a photo large enough, you'll see all these items that are really just within normal tolerance but not 100% tru. Not and error ov variety or DP.

Re: New variation 1944 not listed.
It's not a variety or any die doubling. It is machine/mechanical doubling caused by the die loose in the holder. The photos aren't clear enough, but may be some die deterioration doubling as well. A keeper but not worth much of anything.

Re: 1967 Rabbit Nickel variation
It's machine or die deterioration doubling, not die doubling. The Mint's QA program sucks.
