Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 259 Posts	Posted 04/05/2025 7:24 pm I received this coin today and noticed that there were some imprints on the obverse that looked like stars. This could be a new clash for this date. I looked at the 1857 dime and the stars match up. What does the community think? The last image the best closeup I could produce with my equipment.

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 04/06/2025 01:46 am Marve, the overlay is nice to show what a clash with a reverse FE would look like but keep in mind that this particular date has also been clashed with mule dies. There is a clash with a $20 gold and another clash with a seated half known for the 1857 FE. Report this Post to the Staff

I was just trying to make it simple. Didn't want to be here all night trying to explain mule dies. Report this Post to the Staff
