Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 08/02/2007 01:28 am Hello all, I picked up a roll of BU 1955-S Roosevelt dimes at a good price. I went through them and most were quite decent: definitely uncirculated, not too many bagmarks, and good luster. I didn't find any high-grade or full-torch candidates, but this one dime stood out. It has the strongest die clashing I've ever seen on this type. About 75% of Mr. Roosevelt's portrait is clearly outlined on the reverse! The effect reminds me of those drastic clash marks you see on many Type II gold dollars from 1854 and 1855. I was under the impression that by 1955 strong clash errors were pretty scarce. Has anyone else seen clashing like this on Roosevelt dimes? Report this Post to the Staff

garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 08/02/2007 3:11 pm it is a die clash. but they are not scarce. I have seen them on 07 coins. so it is just something that I would call normal minting. your dime has a nice clash on the rev. I think that the die had been swapped out or you would have the rev and obv clash. nice find but as far as I know there are no premiums on clashes unless you can find someone that is very interested in them in that case you never know where it will go.
