Check the reverse, turn it upside down and you should see a faint imprint of abe's bust inside the memorial. Nice clash marks, not particularly valuable but still collectible.

Spence Moderator United States 34456 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 1:55 pm Looks like a pretty strong die clash on the obv to me. @NM, anything on the rev?

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 3:48 pm Nice die clash, it even looks to me like Abe's tiny statue from the reverse is visible - tiny divot dead center just above the collar. Help my knowledge on these - a clash on one side doesn't necessarily mean there's a clash on the other side, because they could swap out one die and leave the other one in production for a while longer, right?

I believe that this is true, although it does seem to me like often times there will be some evidence on both sides.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 5:25 pm I bet it probably broke the reverse on a clash that strong. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 5:34 pm Ditto what Coop just said, beat me to it. For the bays to show up INSIDE the deep portion of the bust, it was/a massive hit. The amount of rotation shows a misalignment in the hammer die housing, may have dropped down too much and twisted. Report this Post to the Staff
