Kind of like the hanging 3 or 4 in the 1960s pennies but much more. Let me know what it might be because I do not have much exp with error coins. The clash is on both sides but not sure what it is.

tristen1230 Pillar of the Community Canada 516 Posts	Posted 07/08/2012 4:21 pm I agree with errorone2012. I have not seen a die clash like that. Report this Post to the Staff
t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 07/08/2012 5:16 pm Major die clash markers are: the crown between the mountains behind the bear (rev) and a "beard" on the queen (obv). The coin is frequently called Mountain Type I. To call a coin a die clash, elements of the opposite die must be pressed on a face of the coin. I agree with errorone: environment damage, AKA - the coin is dirty Report this Post to the Staff
JeyRey2000 Pillar of the Community Canada 743 Posts	Posted 07/08/2012 6:56 pm I will have to bring this to the Nuphilex show in November, the marks are not consistent with being dipped in anything. I have to disagree because I could tell if this was caused by some sort of acid or cleaner. Report this Post to the Staff
