John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 05:21 am There is a bit of controversy with this one. Some say it's a die clash and others say it's not. I think it is a die clash and very common.Early on in my collecting I started to keep these in different stages as to how bold the clash was.Over the years I had about 12 or so and then a few years ago I set them free.

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 05/22/2014 8:45 pm Mike Diamond did an article on these not too long ago. He concludes that these are not die clashes, but rather an anomaly of the die quality. I found this article interesting because for a long time these were dismissed as die clashes by many people, and this didn't seem right to me. I am more content in the theory that Mike has produced. https://www.coinworld.com/insights/...error.1.html Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 07:26 am So I am wondering if these have a premium and if so how much? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 2:48 pm There are a couple on ebay right now described as die clashes but I don't see any with bids or that have already sold. Frankly, they're so minor and common that I don't see these being sold at a premium to any knowledgeable collector. Edited by ErrorCoins222 05/23/2014 2:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

That's what I was thinking but if Mike Diamond says it's not a die clash but something more/better maybe we should be keeping them. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 3:51 pm This example, and other cents like it, resemble the 1943 S goiter quarter which has recently brought a very large premium (depending on condition). These however, are much larger, more dramatic, and more interesting. Minor die clash or minor die subsidence, I don't believe either will add value to these coins. Report this Post to the Staff
