MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1282 Posts	Posted Yesterday 02:10 am Found locally today Nice clash visible on the reverse in the right field, between the branches on the left, and across the blade: Edit: The location on the blade doesn't make sense, must be a die crack Edited by MintedNotPrinted Yesterday 02:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8850 Posts	Posted Yesterday 08:34 am Very nice find! In a very similar location to the listed coin. Your coin may have come from a die that had multiple clashing incidents and what you see at the blade may be from a rotated/shifted die clash. Maybe from the base of the bust or area under the chin. Regardless, cool find. MDC link. https://www.maddieclashes.com/adc-10c-1943-01/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1282 Posts	Posted Yesterday 09:40 am MrPink, indeed, LCS makecents, appreciated, I suppose it could be the profile if shifted down and to the left. Thank you both! Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6633 Posts	Posted Yesterday 3:07 pm I can see a bit of Liberty's profile in the left live branches as well. Any remnants on the obverse? Overall a neat clash and a nice find. =) That line appears to be some kind of die gouge. Given the location, I believe it might be consistent with a feeder finger scrape for the machinery of the WWII era. Report this Post to the Staff
MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1282 Posts	Posted Yesterday 4:09 pm Srs77, Brandmeister, thank you! No obvious signs on the obverse. The designer's initials are a tad deformed perhaps, but through the toning with my scope, I didn't deem it worth a closeup I'll have to look into the fingers theory, that would be a very neat compound error!
