Question On Die Clashing For Moderns.

Coins101 Yes I can hear what you are saying and I do have an imagination LOL! What I was trying say on top of the Ghosting was that there are physical design irregularities, Writing/Notes on some, The engravers initials, Large Numbers where they are not supposed to be, and other things that are sometimes hard for me to show. I'll try to give some examples later today or tomorrow to add on to the Ghosting. I am by no means an expert so I take no offense to anything anyone voices here. Honestly, I appreciate it. Oh I really like the maddieclashes website by the way! I know that not all of these pics may fall in the lines of clashing per se but hopefully it can entertain and perhaps educate. The coins of WWI and WWII I find to be bizarre at times...in a good way :-)

I was going to add, do you see any unusual writing? Perhaps a few places on jacket and under Bust? I believe it is a copper plated experimental cent. As far as I know, the only one I've heard of for 1944. Metallurgical testing will be done.

You have a point Halo but at the time when I started this topic I considered the idea of these coins being struck against another patterned object. Yes, it is not your typical clash where you would see the opposite field show through the other but to be honest I couldn't come up with a better error definition and thought that Clash enthusiasts would let it slide for either humor or intrigue. I thought I stated my intentions for this topic first thing. Anyhow, If you have any interest in experimentals for the WWII era you can find out that there are indeed quite a few different combinations of metals and even non metals for proposed coinage. I won't say you are wrong or right about this Lincoln Cent because I don't work for a Grading and Authentication Service. However, thanks to Roger Burdette who has detailed listings and information on some of these coins...as well as the Engravers notes of dates and the company issued to make this coin written on the Rim and Edge, I'm not going to sweat too much over it. Sorry if you found the topic deceptive.

No worries Doug I am equally guilty of having these moments. Ask practically anyone on this Forum lol! Feel free to ask any question and if I can't answer it, don't tell anyone and I'll help find someone who can haha! Have a nice beverage and enjoy your weekend.

Another good point. I'll have to check with admin before reposting a bunch of stuff but hopefully I can share this for now. My brother is in dentistry and I remember hearing something about using x-rays for authenticating coins so I had a scan of some sort done on the 1914 Half Penny on this thread. I assume a coin would come out with the die design and any abnormalities would show up better through the scan. Now I don't mind saying focus on this area or that, again, I believe there are abnormalities in design on these coins. However, if I say look at the purple unicorn on whatever dignitaries head, everyone will pack up shop and give me a number to a psychiatrist or something. Here is a scan of the 1914 Half Penny

Forgive me for saying this but you are confusing everybody. Now to end this thread there is nothing interesting going on with any of the coins. They all just suffered some kind of Post Mint Damage. You are looking to hard to find stuff out of the ordinary. So all in all just drop it nothing special here.

Is this the same one with the image of Elvis ?
