Hi, Wert:
I've just taken a very close look and both the clashes and the scrolling are at the exact same height. Scanning isn't the greatest at this magnification, however; with an 8X, there is no separation from the scrolls to the clashes. (no lines/borders where they intersect, especially from the loop under the "2" to the top of the pointed scroll). It is more difficult to tell on the lower clahes but I believe they are the same height as well.
The left scroll's clash at the bottom begins at the upper part as level with the coin, then it raises as it nears the denticles. The two "points" of that clash are actually right in between the denticles and appear lower than the height of the denticles.
Seems like a lot going on here.

Hi steve123...I am no expert and SPP is probably correct, but take my idea with a grain of salt, maybe the planchet was damaged/cracked before the coin was pressed...? Like I said, just a guess...  |

I think I'll put my '42 Newf on E-bay and see what happens. Thanks all for your input.

The picture provided by Castor is called an overlay, and shows where the die clash lines would be. Overlays are very useful when trying to see if the lines seen on a coin are a die clash or simply die cracks.

I know this thread is ancient, but I'm wondering how steve123 made out with this coin? The reason I ask (and revive this old thread) is that I have a later state than this one. Mine has the same die cracks (in hand they look like die cracks), with a couple more added, plus the section to the left of the date is filled (more of the die has broken away). Pretty cool coin and I'll add pics shortly.

While reading through this thread I seemed to have had a 'senior moment' thought about Canadian coin overlays. Isn't there or wasn't there
a site with such overlays? Thanks.

Sorry, Chequer, it was sold long ago. The images here are the only ones.
