Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5810 Posts	Posted 04/11/2023 06:42 am There is some interest in these but don't really carry a premium when they are heavily abraded like this one. They are fun to come across to break up the monotony. There may or may not be a listing already on Maddieclashes.com http://www.maddieclashes.com/ EDIT: I'll add that this is a nice one to see how the mint use to try and polish the clash out of them. Very heavy die abrasion lines are visible. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19285 Posts	Posted 04/11/2023 07:44 am Agree with Petespockets55. Too, the obverse is showing Die Deterioration, as indicated with the presence of a Ridge Ring. May be a slight misaligned die as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 99231 Posts	Posted 04/11/2023 09:12 am Die Deterioration noted on the obverse, Ridge Ring as a result of this worn die. Not sure if it is a die clash. It just looks like the Memorial is 'ghosting' through to the obverse in front of Lincoln due to this worn out die. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15590 Posts	Posted 04/12/2023 05:15 am That is a worn out obverse die. Agree that rather than clash this could be 'ghosting' of the memorial on the obverse. Either way it's a fun find and 2x2 worth but no real numismatic premium. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 1:46 pm Note the 1 on the date is slightly smaller. So these dies were polished. Probably the first time for both dies. Report this Post to the Staff

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 2:58 pm Agree this is a die clash. Those heavy abrasion lines are evidence that the mint was doing a hard polish to remove the clash and to keep the die in production. Report this Post to the Staff
