west- canuk Valued Member Canada 497 Posts	Posted 01/29/2012 11:22 pm I've collected a few Geo 6 half dollar die clashes, but I've yet to see an Elizabeth 2 laureate portrait with a die clash. If anyone has one, I'd love to see some pics. Edited by west- canuk 01/30/2012 11:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cubro99 Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 01/30/2012 04:42 am The Queen Elizabeth II laureate portrait has three versions: coat of arms 1953-54, revised coat of arms 1955-58 and the modified coat of arms 1959-64. The 1953-54 group and the 1955-58 group should have identical clash marks but I haven't found any yet. I do have a few of the third group, 1959-64. This is my better looking clash on a 1963 50 cent. http://s989.photobucket.com/albums/...DC_50c_1.png here is an edited version showing the marks http://s989.photobucket.com/albums/...c_1_edit.png The lion and unicorn figures each have three marks, a mark at their head, a mark at their feet and a mark between their forelimbs. On the unicorn it appears to have an extra horn which is caused by the shape of the hair on the obverse. http://s989.photobucket.com/albums/...DC_50c_2.png Report this Post to the Staff

mysterious_dr_x Valued Member Canada 284 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 09:13 am A nice collection indeed :) Cubro, do you have an idea of how many cents you went through before finding 1991, 1995 but mostly those two striking ones, 1998 and 2000? I found some 1998,1999 and 2000, but nothing like what you have on those pictures. I wonder how many boxes I should go through to hope to get some :P Report this Post to the Staff
Cubro99 Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 09:34 am I have found multiples of each but if I were to guess they would be 1/250 1991's and 1/150 1995's. Two to three boxes should help you find those two. The real trick to finding them is to drop your standards and expect them to be in a unique position. Most 1995s just have a line connecting the 9 and 5. Report this Post to the Staff

west- canuk Valued Member Canada 497 Posts	Posted 02/05/2012 01:11 am Well, I looked at about 100 59-64 halves today and found 2 die clashes, both ended up being 1963s. Here's some pics. Thanks again Cubro99, they're much easier to find now that I know where to look. Report this Post to the Staff
