coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/09/2014 10:35 pm It is a shallow die clash. Nice. The reverse looks like it was replaced after the clash. Here is what you are seeing: I have found a lot of smaller clashes, but I have not found one like your yet. They call them "jail house cents," because it looks like Lincoln is behind bars.
