Cheers jbuck.
Nevol, have u done an overlay to confirm clash, I went back to the bank I got the first 2 at, and found another 1, but it was very faint.
Does anyone know how many coins a clash will produce before it fades?
Also I was wondering if there is a master list of coin varieties and error coins?
Cheers

Does anyone know how many coins a clash will produce before it fades? I don't know how to do overlays, but I do know how to recognise a clashed coin. My first clashed coin was a very nice 2001 10c obv. Impossible to know how many might be struck with a die that's been clashed. A mint worker might notice it after just a few, but then again it might never be noticed. I don't know of anyone that has a comprehensive list of all varieties and errors, but you could look through this old thread of mine that deals with Aust Decimal clashes. http://goccf.com/t/113842I have done many other threads with specific topics, eg Rim Cuds, Rotated coins etc, Let me know if you'd like links to them. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Can u use photoshop, coral dral, illustrator or simular program, basically take a photo of a perfect coin from the same year and make a transparent layer, then take a photo of the error coin and put the transparent layer on top and slowly rotate it. Do u think this is a clash, also 2015   Also another 2015 that u can faintly see the s, with claw Cuds |

Re your 2015 coin, I don't think it's a clash even although the denomination is not disclosed. I can't think of any coin that would have a similar mark on the reverse to make a clash mark in that position. I'm pretty certain it's just a scratch.
I don't use Photoshop or any of the other programs you suggest. For all my image editing I use PhotoScape, and I can't find anywhere in it to do a transparent.

I wasnt meaning the scratch, look at the light and dark, to me it looks like the coin was struck with reverse and then obverse struck over the top, down the bottom u can see a blurry shadow of the sd
I need to set a pc up and get a decent camera

IMO, just a couple small imperfections, wouldn't be the initials SD as they are way too close to the rim. My opinion hasn't changed, not a clashed coin or an over strike.

So ive put a bit of thought into this coin and I still think it was flipped and stamped over.
This is my thinking!
If I worked at the mint, every now and then I would create an error coin just for the fun of it and you cant tell me that I'm the only one with this thinking.
Now look at the coin, if someone intentionally flipped the coin over and pressed it, what would happen to the metal when 2 or 3 ton of preasure is applied?
The weakest/thin part would disperse and that would explain the sd being pushed down near the rim and the reason the sd didnt merge would be a thin layer of oil on the coin, when I look at the whole coin there is a dark inner shape that in my mind looks like the reverse that has been flattened by the obverse side

Hi
Nevol, thank you for your posts, I have read quite a few that have taught me a lot, I was wondering how much do you think these coins are worth, I have found a few of them and 3 that have clash on both sides. also I was wondering when a die clashes, why aren't both sides show always affected

I haven't tried to sell any of my clashed coins as IMO they are probably only worth a few $'s each.
For a clashed error coin to have a premium, it needs to be in almost AU condition and the clash needs to be pretty spectacular and very obvious.
The best clash I have is on a 2001 10c and I think it might attract about $10 - $15.
There are simply not that many people collecting them.
