JoeVegas444 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 08/11/2020 8:57 pm Does this penny have a triangular die break on the reverse between the columns on the left? Maybe also struck thru grease? Thank you for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 08/11/2020 9:03 pm @jv, have you tried looking at an overlay to see if this cent might have been struck from a clashed die? It looks a bit like the back of Abe's head, but I'm not sure that it lines up exactly.

JoeVegas444 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 08/11/2020 9:27 pm @Kanga - I see people trying to sell die clashes on ebay. Some for a few dollars. Others for a lot more. Not sure what to think. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 2:01 pm Looks like a slight rotation of the obverse die from the clashes its been through. Thus the shoulder is not exact to overlays. Edited by coop 08/12/2020 2:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
