What do you guys think about this one? If not a clash then what is this? Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 12/09/2012 10:27 am Repeated pounding by the hammer on a planchet as it sits on the anvil causes the anvil to wear leaving a "shadow image of the bust on the anvil. This may not be 100% accurate but it is how I understand it. Report this Post to the Staff

mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 12/10/2012 6:39 pm I found this web site and it shows/describes this variation/error. Mine is much more pronounced. http://error-ref.com/progressive-in...ansfer-.html Report this Post to the Staff

mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 12/14/2012 1:21 pm Thanks for the heads up. And I just found another one only not as pronounced as the first coin. Same date too. I added the first one to the bank vault collection. One of these days I need to go to the bank and get an inventory plus photograph some more images to share with my friends/CCF.

sab3927 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 11:15 am Look for ghost images of the wheat stalks on the obverse. Not as plentiful be dramatic when you find them. I'm doing inventory now too. Takes time. Have fun! Report this Post to the Staff
