I would like to respectfully suggest that new member Petr Mares have his 1977 Canadian cent error professionally authenticated. Although I cannot tell for sure from the photographs, there exists a strong possibility that the second strike was applied outside the Royal Canadian Mint using false dies.

There are several Civil War store-card token dies that feature books. The ones attached are all pictured in Dave Bowers’s newest reference, the 448-page Guide Book of Civil War Tokens.
