Missed this on Saturday cause I was in the boonies camping. Pretty epic die clash on this one. Enjoy.

I've really been enjoying the past couple days. These are coins I rarely, if ever get to see.

Moe, yours looks almost like a progression of mine. At least the crack around "CENTS" looks like a pretty close match

Quote: Moe, yours looks almost like a progression of mine. At least the crack around "CENTS" looks like a pretty close match I thought that originally but your coin's CENTS crack starts much farther left and progresses along the CENTS line. I think these may actually be two different Reverse dies...  I see many different dies cracks as I look along the 1866s posted so far. Man, that nickel is TOUGH to deal with!! It must have driven the Mint officials crazy!

I am sorry, I thought the words "almost" and "pretty close match" would let you know I wasn't saying they were the same die just that they look close to each other. Like as if I was saying that must be a weak spot in the design because both coins look so similar in the same spot

Any other 1867's with rays out there or am I the only game in town?
