Took picture of double die clash on my new flushing leaves. One out of three coins had a Double Die Clash on it. I thought NCLT were all hand pressed?

Where the red arrows are, if you look in the flat fields, under the water lines, you will see 2 die clashes that are not supposed to be there.
They look like leaf points and not the Queen's head. They are actually quite large.

I *guess* I see what you mean. I thought some errors would make a coin worth more... would this?

Probably not. I've never heard of or seen anything but almost perfection on NCLT coins. If it is not die clashes it could be matrix marks. The line on the left is longer than what appears. The lines to the right starts touching the leaf to the right of the stem,then goes to the left of stem, falls down under the water line and crosses back to the right of the stem all the way down to the bottom water line. I checked the rest of the series to no avail. The only other observation was that the cameo frosting is not as strong as the other coins.

If you don't want to keep it, perhaps you could request an RMA and exchange it. I did that twice before with some other coins because the coins were scratched, and the Mint even refund my shipping cost (I have to include my postage receipt in the package).

I just checked the webpage for the last 20for20 coin, and it has the "100% moneyback guarantee" logo, so I think it is possible to exchange it.
