Enyaw Valued Member Canada 458 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 12:46 am Found this 1963 cent die clash going through some uncirculated rolls. There is a double Queen's neck die clash that meets in the middle to loosely form an "m" (red line in second photo) that the 3 is hanging from. There is also a die clash by the leaf of the Queen's neck/hair (black line in second photo). Report this Post to the Staff

bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1349 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 01:49 am Nice coin. I do the same as you have done for Victorian coins, so no disrespect intended. In the case of my Victorian cents, I often wonder what Leonard Wyon, or the artisans at The Royal Mint, would think if they knew we analyzed and published their imperfections at 30X decades, or centuries, later. Your coin's markings were caused by a die clash, but the thought is the same. What would the mint workers think about us scrutinizing their efforts decades on? I don't know if they would care, but they might. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner.

Quote: What would the mint workers think about us scrutinizing their efforts decades on? A thought provoking comment indeed. My first thought is that I would be happy if anyone even thought about me 150 years from now. Maybe they would have had the same thought. My second thought was maybe this is why we spend so much time learning and cataloging their work, to be a link between their past and future generations so their work (and ours) won't be forgotten.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 1:33 pm I think the mint workers would mostly chuckle, that future people thinks these things are interesting or valuable. Their job was production, cranking out millions of coins, and the machinery messes up. Quality control people might feel embarrassed that certain things escaped. A handful of mint workers would be afraid of getting caught or blamed, if they had deliberately done some of it as "sport." The chief engravers would probably be upset that the workers misaligned the hubs or punched the wrong digits and tried to fix it or punched a mint mark upside down. And they all might scratch their heads about things like US Morgan VAM guides - yeah, the dies cracked, so what? These people are tracking every single die and die state? How weird.
