FlipOfACoin Valued Member 474 Posts	Posted 02/14/2012 11:09 pm Can anyone give me some help with these 'ghost images' on the obverse and reverse of this 2007-P 'Idaho' Washington quarter Report this Post to the Staff

mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 02/14/2012 11:59 pm Looks like a die clash to me. The hammer and anvil dies came into contact with each other without a planchet in between, thereby creating obverse and reverse images on the opposing dies which in-turn imparted those images onto the following minted coins. Cool find! Edited by mitchhailey 02/15/2012 01:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
