don in nmkt Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 12/19/2012 8:47 pm Please excuse the images as I only have a QX3 for taking images. I think they still will provide clarity of the die clashes. The obverse show the beavers whiskers at the Queen's nose. The reverse shows the Queen's crown above the beavers back. I have two of these, both taken from a mint roll. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/19/2012 9:50 pm Hi don - I don't think it's a clash. I can't figure out what it clashed with. It is possible that it got smashed a bit by some other object. It's also possible that it is just that some gas bubbles have formed an interesting pattern. Report this Post to the Staff
don in nmkt Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 12/19/2012 10:08 pm Hi Buddy, I have no doubt in my mind that it is a die clash. Take a look at this image of the obverse and you can see the beavers forehead above the location of the whiskers and to the right of the Queen's nose. Report this Post to the Staff
