1974 Five Cent Error - 1974 reverse die cap, with an early stage full reverse brockage (capped and struck over a 2nd, previously struck, coin). Cap was subsequently dislodged, and struck 30% off-centre by the reverse dies as a uniface strike (over a blank planchet) and again capped on the reverse die. This later cap was struck several times over blank planchets, stretching the original reverse brockage out considerably. Cap was struck once more 90% off-centre, after being dislodged the second time. A complicated but stunning error; probably unique in Canadian striking errors.
