Oh my Lord, Ray, not you too, I thought you sharper than this. If you would like, I'll send one to you too, and no, I did not make them.... Cannot believe you people. This is probably the most undeserved disrespect I've received in a long time! None of the linked coins are even remotely similar to the one the OP shared. All are post-82 low-relief types, not the higher-relief 1955 shown by the OP, and none of them show die clashes in the deepest relief areas. I believe you owe me an apology. Edited to add: if there was some cataclysmic clash that hit hard enough to put a deep impression on the bowtie of a LWC obverse die, it would show up in many other areas of the die, proof positive supporting my earlier statement.

Was not a question. I want you to feel better, Ray. No question mark.

Ray, what do you say I send you one of the "fantasy" pieces that I posted on this thread and you do your fantastic photography work with it. You can study it and then post it with your thoughts. You can keep it as a token of my appreciation for you and what you do. You obviously do not remember me helping you nail down some RPM's you had a tough time with on LCF. Just let me know, I still have your address somewhere, I'll find it. This would be the one I would send you.  -makecents-

That's a pretty high point on the coin and a low point on the die, just sayin.

Hah! No worries.
Indeed I'd love to image such a coin, with 3D imaging and overlays.

Ray, the main reason I got agitated with this earlier was what I said earlier in this thread, misinformation, I try my best to negate this.... I have no clue what the OP thinks of me at this point but want to give them solid, hardcore information, that they will probably not get elsewhere.

I think the bottom line for this thread is that the OP's coin has PMD, so no mint errors or die errors or varieties happening on it. The MAD die clash discussion was enlightening, but that's not what we have here. The possibility is intriguing, and hopefully makes folks reading this thread look harder to find these coins and hopefully post them here for all the forumites to see. Some of the coins posted are extremely intriguing! I know I learned from this thread. |

I have not shot it yet but will do so hopefully next week when I get back from a road trip. I'm also planning on shooting lawest's 57 BIE again with a different technique, and may use that for your Dime as well...Ray

Still would love to know how a clash can happen in a die void!

Still would love to know how a clash can happen in a die void! Something just came to me about this. I will admit, I have not ran across this often but it does happen. Think about a rolled thick planchet, it does not happen often but it happens. I wonder if dies can occasionally be abnormal, not quite true, maybe thicker than normal in the center? Now we are bringing two things into play at the same time though, an abnormal die and a clash happening all at once, the odds are probably up there but then you have to think about the crazy numbers of working dies and coins being minted, maybe not that out of the question....
