Dick, your last post is stunning.
Not only for its content but for everything else that really matters.

Marc, this is what I was wanting to show:  This will show what is where, and how it got there. This sqame example in 1979, is the goal, so that we can find out what happened in '79/ The overlay will show all, as you can see from the one posted for the US cent. We were going to use the series '68-'78, but the portrait, would not bne correct, and therefor useless. It has to be 1979. In the other years, where there have been no changes, then the same technique will apply. Dick |

Marc, thaat is a great photo. I'll pull it on the other computer, soo it will be available for the overlay attempt. I need the Portrait in particular, as there were minor changes made prior to, and after 1979, so it is imperative that we use the 1979. I am just getting an idea about how to make an overlay. In fact, I made my first one yesterday, but haven't been ablle to get the second, one, today! It will be a while for me, but there are those who are very adept in this particular endeavor, Coop, is one of them, and I believe Kurt would very likely be able to do one, altho that is not his field of endeavor. Thanks for the pohto. It will be very handy to use for this effort.

Marc, that will be great! I will try to make an overlay of the two when the portrait is available, and I probably will seek Coop's assistance, or maybe just ask him to do the overlaym ao it will be better, and sooner! I am back to square one, on the overlays., They keep getting worse, so maybe I'll slow down, and let it come naturally, eh?

Marc, the idea to put this "learning aid" here was partially mine, but the credit to it being as handy as it has been on other forums, is Coops expertise! He may not be the first, but he is the one That has shown me the value if this device. He deserves the credit!
You make a good explanation of what has happened there. There are three other points that I still want to research even more to tell what occured. It is I the same general area. As I get more used to the "overlay procedure, I will post and show what and where I refer to. This device will work on aby coin, as long as the DATES, and/ or portraits are the correct ones. See the cases of a change on portrait, mid year, and the two different ones will show the truth.

This 79 penny's got it all: MDD doubling of legend, clash, deterioration, what else? Ah yes, some rotation as well.  |

Marc, NOW you see what we have been enjoying for so long! As you pointed out in the photo, the same remnants of the clash are theremand shows the general arrea to look for clashes NO ANY COIN. They may be visible on the OBV, or the REV or even on both faces. he Canadans do not use MM's on their coinage, so it is not a factor in the varieties area, but it certainly will dispell any doubts as to whether it is the same die that made the coin, when two different portraits, or other changes were brought about duting the course of the year, in question.
