Wonderful die clash but I would have missed the edge lettering doubling as well. Great find.

Very nice coin! I love the doubled edge lettering and the nice sharp Die Clash. I did a Clash Overlay to help me understand just what the clash impact did to the dies. It shows that they were misaligned by about 5% to the K:4 position at the time of the clash.

Really like this coin. This is what makes the early mint products so much fun to pursue!

Great pickup jacrispies,
Have to remind myself to always check the third side of the coin.

What an awesome coin! It pays to be patient.
I was at the show on Friday and Sunday (as a seller, not a buyer) but still took time to look at quite a few tables.
Parking was reasonable IMO ($10 all day with re-entry, and not a far walk to the center.) There was a bit of construction on one bridge Friday, but gone by Sunday, so traffic was not a concern.
I agree about the mass transit issue but it's been a bone of contention for many years now. The proposed linkups with the Tarrant Light Rail system never really happened, except for the Bell Helicopter access in far north Arlington, but it's mainly used by plant employees. Arlington is one of the largest cities in Texas (and maybe in the US) without any form of mass transit system (light rail or bus service.) While this does not affect me personally, it is something that many other citizens have been wishing to have for a long time.

Very cool post! Not trying to hi-Jack the post, but I wondered if anyone has seen the highlighted areas on a genuine capped bust half? It is common to several counterfeits I have seen.  Thanks! |

@burfle23 - Those areas are not apparent on any marriage of the bust half series. They are casting anomalies.
