Dragg Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 03/12/2022 11:40 pm On the Reverse side in-between the Rim and the Tops of Lettering the planchette sets lower than lettering above United States of America and some how the Tops of the Lettering die clashed on Obverse side from Liberty going down under Lincoln's body up to date? Need opinion please and letter D of United looks Double? Please help Edited by Dragg 03/13/2022 12:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 03/13/2022 12:34 am I do not see the die clash and also off center. An off center to be collectable must be 5% and more (small premium till 45%) The rest of the coin it is not my specialty. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/13/2022 04:31 am No,that is a plating issue. Your coin appears to have Ridge Ring,no die clash.Not off center either. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2022 2:50 pm To me it looks more like localized Machine Doubling. Note the mintmark was affected, the base of the bust and probably the opposite side on United States. The obverse is also showing ridge rind on the area above Liberty. So it is not a premium for the coin. It looks like a striking issue and a die wear issue. We often see split plating on the areas what are showing a gray color. A matter if time will be be counting down for this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
