Sharkbait46737 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 7:37 pm Wow, I must really suck at taking pictures if that's what you are seeing. I will try to do better in the future. Not glue. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 7:40 pm can you try to explain what you are seeing to help me get looking in the right direction. Collecting since 1972.

Sharkbait46737 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 7:53 pm There is an anomaly coming from both the left and right top of the monument, stronger on the left side. There is what appears to me to be a small die crack on the lower left. Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 7:54 pm That my dear friends is a classic clashed die , so yes, a legitimate mint error there, and a more dramatic one at that. I have only found a few clashed dies on these 1980s nickels from my coin roll hunts. The two "prongs" sticking out of Jefferson's head are part of the clashed Monticello... To me, that is actually worth a few bucks over 5 cents and a great find if you ask me Edited by mrwhatisit 03/29/2023 7:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5774 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 8:26 pm Very nice clashed die. Congrats on the find. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 8:30 pm I'm on team die clash too. This one is worthy of saving in a 2x2.

Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 9:31 pm Wicked die clash! I can even see part of the Monticello on the right side of the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Sharkbait46737 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 9:33 pm No problem Dearborn and thanks. Looks like there have been a few sold on ebay with this same die clash. Thanks all. Report this Post to the Staff
