Nice looking examples.  Good to see that you've learned some things and will be putting these away. The 3rd coin in your photos appears to have an obverse clash. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Is that what those little horizontal lines mean? Die clash?

I suspect a clashed die with most of the clash remnants polished off. I could be wrong - we need to see one of coop overlays to determine if those lines in the left obverse field correspond to the outline of the reverse side Memorial building feature. |

It's a Wheat cent, so what part of the reverse die would make horizontal lines in a die clash? Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here)See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) |

Really nice photography. Thanks. These coins were easier to photograph than most. It's like they want to show off! |

Another nice one. Put this one up on the grading page too. Has the smudge on the reverse (Not sure of the cause) but I think this is the only one I have found that has basically zero bag marks and a really solid strike on both sides.   |

The very next coin in the stack had a serious blob (die chip, thanks Dear) on the 5! Very cool.  Edited by Hordfest

The die chip is not from the same full coin image. that can get confusing...  |

I'm sorry I'll edit the message to make sure that is clear. The whole coin with the die chip was not really worth sharing.
