nss-52 Moderator United States 54284 Posts	Posted 10/20/2016 10:11 pm I would like to see a clearer (in focus) and larger photo, and a full description of what you are seeing that you think might be a die clash.

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/20/2016 11:05 pm I know your trying .. but picture is not real clear... are you seeing something that looks like it has transferred from the obverse? On a die clash you will see details from one side transferred to the outer side. Just a guess .. if what your seeing is raised .. it may be a die chip. Small piece of the die chips off, will cause small raised spots on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/20/2016 11:05 pm It doesn't match up with an overlay: If it is raised, then it would be die gouges on that area. Report this Post to the Staff
John65 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 10/20/2016 11:28 pm Thanks for your help. After looking up images of die gouges that's what it looks like. Is it considered an error or just damaged? Report this Post to the Staff
