Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 03:53 am Just found this from today's pocket change and thought that it was interesting that the coins design was struck over (I assume) a mangled coin somehow. I say this because some of the clashed like letters flow under the motto/wording of the nickel. It looks like because of the strike error it says Montioello Five Gents. Probably just me. Either way I haven't come across a strike error like this so I thought I'd share. If anybody has a guess as to what it was struck against, feel free to give me some ideas b/c I can't figure it out as of now. The coin is dirty from wherever its been so put a couple drops on it to hopefully make things easier for me and you all to see what's going on. Report this Post to the Staff

Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 08:44 am OK I am pretty sure it's a clash. Saw the small D plain as day eventually next to the E in E. Pluribus Unum. As well as the obverse motto. I was just having a slow day haha. Report this Post to the Staff

Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 10:48 am Thought I could do a better job with the clash since some of the gunk came off. Love these clashes! 73 must have been an interesting year :-) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 2:07 pm I don't see a die clash? But it looks like a die crack from "E" on STATES to the bottom of the steps. Here is a clash overlay: Report this Post to the Staff
Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 5:53 pm Thanks coop I've been wanting one of those programs! It just looked a little off with some of the lines going on but I agree that your lines shown don't match up with what I thought was going on...I appreciate the help as always Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 8:13 pm I find many clashes during a CRH event. Taking pictures of them is very difficult as many require holding on an angle to catch light across the witness marks. I can't see anything on your coin yet...but I'm trying. Nothing like having the coin in hand to reflect light just right. Report this Post to the Staff
