Please only one coin per topic, it will save on confusion later on in the discussion.
Anyway,
coin 1 the 1966: Loss of partial cladding on reverse.
coin 2 the 1967: A very nice die clash, plus a MAD strike on obverse.

On the 67 on the obverse it looks like a clash right behind the neck pitcher isn't great but that is what I see

I believe you are correct, I see the die clash on the obverse also on the right side of the neck and some around the nose too!

One it is like Die clash the other it is far to strait to be a really missing clad. Probably is need more close pics to be able to come for a definitive conclusion. I see Die Clash but the missing clad no. Please show the borders of the missing clad.

Your dad did pretty well with these. I might consider getting the missing clad slabbed, but would just save the die clash in a 2x2 for safekeeping.

Sorry to come back on this post. Question to all: Do it is Legitim or NOT. In my photo you can see. Also looking to the coin unclad we can see clear acid interferences. Your opinions please.  |

silviosi, I am going to say it is not legit because of the pushed metal down the center. I hope I am wrong.

@ODD IMHO you are wright. the legitims must spread the clad not push back.

The 1966 was a clash shell clad issue. What that? Part of the cladding was loose:  These are valuable if left in tact. But on your coin this was removed. So it is just a missing cladding that was removed. How can I tell that is what happened? Not the clad is rising upwards. Also the strike is weaker:  Note the top quarter, the strike on the missing cladding side? It is a ghost image. But note on the lower coin, the strike is still full because that area of the cladding was missing before the strike. When the cladding os removed post strike then the strength of the strike will be weaker. That is what I'm seeing on your coin. So someone thought it would be worth more without the cladding, but it was more valuable with the loose cladding. So that removes a lot of the value for this coin. (But now you know) |

Well for sure we can ask Mike Diamond to weigh in on this one, but I still think that the '66 is legit.

It is certainly a missing clad issue. What I can't tell from the images is whether it was originally a clamshell that someone just bent back and forth until it snapped off (less valuable) or if it just separated naturally. Kinda leaning toward an altered clamshell.

Looks like a typical clam shell that someone has removed.
