Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 5:13 pm I found this 1972 D LMC with what appears to be a pretty massive clash on the reverse. It also has a little die chip on the bottom of the left side of the memorial. The clash looks like it might have affected the mouth area of the bust on the obverse. Also, even though the pics didn't pic it up it almost looks like the area on the obverse on top of the clash on the reverse looks like part of the reverse design shows through. Thoughts please.

I'm sure that you've seen the digital overlays which help to figure out which parts of the design form the clash. For example, what part of the obv design lines up with the 10th and 11th bays on the Lincoln Memorial?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79724 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 5:40 pm The reverse definitely shows signs of being polished down. You can tell on the 10th and 11th bay. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 01/13/2019 5:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 5:53 pm Maybe there was an issue with feeder finger die scrapes? Isolated polishing may be caused what we are seeing. Or other die scrapes: Feeder finger die scrapes usually occur in the other direction. Edited by coop 01/13/2019 5:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
