pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 7:44 pm The marks on front of the queen's neck are clashes of the "8", with the top part of the "9" just to the right of it. These are caused at the same time and in the same way as the "hanger" on the reverse is caused, which is a reverse of the queen's jaw. When the dies clash together without a planchet in between, some of the design of each die can be impressed onto the other one, causing these odd patterns on the die. 1998 is the one I've seen the most of these clashes on from the 1990's, but there are other years with clashes as well, even some as late as the 2000's. And they're not always hanging digits; the 2005 clash for example can have its clash lines inside the 2nd 0 in the date. Report this Post to the Staff
