chickenboy Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 10/30/2011 7:35 pm I think this a MAD (misaligned die) clash but sometimes when you stare too long it becomes what you want. I was typing a post for help and then finally saw what I think is right. On column 5, not sure if it is a chip, but is this the top of the neck bottom of the hair? Clash under lincoln would be a hair curl or maybe part of the ear. Bay 10 looks like the beard, lips, and nose. The clash should be a bay and a half over and lower. What do you think? Obverse is normal with light polishing. Edited by chickenboy 10/30/2011 9:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 10/30/2011 7:55 pm I'm seeing a die clash one bay to the right of normal. Anything on obverse? Edited by DrDon 10/30/2011 7:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

chickenboy Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 10/30/2011 9:32 pm I was referring to MAD as a misaligned die since the base of the nose should be over one bay and lower into the steps. Report this Post to the Staff

BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 10/31/2011 08:18 am Yes, there is a slight misalignment of the dies when they met and it could be called a MAD die clash. However, do not confuse this type of die clash with a radical MAD die clash which is caused by another fault. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff
