Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 04/21/2014 8:54 pm Is anyone aware of examples of die clashing on Modern day coins without another coin denomination? If one popped up what would that mean? With our modern day minting process I don't know how it would be possible but I heard about it happening a year ago. Report this Post to the Staff

Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 04/21/2014 9:18 pm Lol OK I'll try to conjure up an example pic to show what I mean. It is hard to explain. It's like a background image for the real image... Report this Post to the Staff

Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 04/22/2014 01:45 am OK please please please don't throw rotten fruit at me for this pic but it has been a topic of interest for the past 4 yrs. This isn't the best specimen but is one I am most certain is an example of this clashing, theme piece, whatever you might call it. I really only heard rumors about them and decided to see if they were true or not. Not saying what is fact by any means but this penny dated 1946 has a raised FS initial rt smack dab in the middle of the lower wheat stalks and (in my opinion) a face that will become even more clear as the rubble clears. It already has become much nicer just over a short period of time. I hate posting stuff like this b/c it only makes me look crazy lol! But in the end maybe I'll accomplish something by it...

For the time being it looks like one. It will also be a good way to see if I can even possess the darn thing lol! Report this Post to the Staff

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 04/22/2014 11:34 am Im not seeing any FS in the wheat stalks. Are you saying that dies from two different denominations of coins clashed? Report this Post to the Staff

Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 04/22/2014 4:03 pm Not sure if this helps. Like I said It is still coming through. On the edge it says F8J I think which may be what I assume is FS. Have no idea what this means if it in fact that. Also, riding along the lower border of coin there could be some numbers and letters that I can't make out completely but in my opinion is there. The FS (presumably) is in middle of lower wheat stock stems. I put up a few pics that are clearer but until I get my other lens and until the rest of the coin goes back to normal (which it will in my opinion) This is all I have. There is something here in my strong opinion. Knowing what it is, is another story. Report this Post to the Staff

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 04/22/2014 4:50 pm All I see is a badly stained and corroded coin. I kind of see the "FS" you are talking about, but I think that is just a case where the damage to the coin resembles something, sort of like seeing the image of Elvis on a piece of burnt toast.
