John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 06:38 am I am no pro but it looks like either a die clash or deteriorated die. I don't think it would add any value. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

calikevin New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 2:29 pm So then other than being shiny and in good shape, it's nothing special with the head showing through on the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 2:37 pm Die Clashes are collectible, but usually you need more definition on both sides. I would keep it. Someday some Merc specialist will try to build a set of die clashed coins and, who knows; might just need yours. Report this Post to the Staff
arsave Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 10:07 pm Typical type of clash. I, too, expected to see a full band coin. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 06:42 am THere are some incredible clashes out there, one springs to mind, because it's so strange, the 1864 LM 2Â¢ clashed with an IHC of all things, still looking for one myself. The 3Â¢ nickel series is full of clashes if you decide to collect clashed things, Morgans too, a lot of research on VAM's helps disseminate info on this series.
