Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 1:26 pm What I was asking about was the light indentation that appears to look like a double struck by Georges' forehead. The letters are not bothered at all and neither is the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 6:14 pm It may be an over polshing to cover a clash. In this case they wiped out a good area of field to remove the clash. Similar to Jarmar74's nickel. Edited by coop 03/27/2011 6:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 9:06 pm Im sorry but you guys are probably not understanding what I was asking. This is slightly indented what I highlighed. Yet the letters and rim are not bothered. If I lay another quarter over that area it matches. Report this Post to the Staff
liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 11:49 pm The red lines really take away from being able to see what you're trying to illustrate. But it appears, as Coop suggested, that it could be a clashed die, which is a common occurrence and in most cases (including yours) does not fetch a premium over the coin's regular value.

Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 11:57 pm I didnt realize my first picture changed when I changed the picture and dowloaded it oops. The first picture looked like a die clash and I agree. But I wasnt specific on what I was asking about. Thats why I drew the red line in to show whats indented. I dont see how this would correlate with a die clash? Nothing matches up. Edited by Double Mint 03/27/2011 11:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 12:00 am The polishing to cover up the clash removed more of the field. leaving a different looking field than normal. The clash outlines were removed leaving a deeper mark in the field which you see. Report this Post to the Staff
