whatsthedillio Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 04/23/2012 4:18 pm I got these 4 from one roll. At first I thought it might be struck offset a little but only the "ED" in TED seem to be affected. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/24/2012 02:10 am Keep in mind a clash makes marks on the ED STATES OF AM area. The bust edge is clashing that area. So a heaving plisihing happens in this area. It removes the depth of these devices when they are over polished. They are the strongest on the 1980's Zincolns. The dept of the hubbing is less than the three step process for the hubbing of the dies prior to the single hubbing they do now. They must have changes something in the process as they are not as noticable as during the late 1980's cents. So it is not just die wear, but over polishing that shortens the devices on the OP coin. On the obverse the ONE Cent clashes and a strong polshing shows on the obverse. Most of the time it's not pretty, but it makes the earlier die states look extra special without all these polishings.

Should there be something on the obverse from this? Many thanks because I'm not clear on what a clash is or how it happens. Report this Post to the Staff
