coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/26/2015 9:54 pm The bays (Which are part of the fields) pf the reverse makes a vertical mark on the fields of the obverse die during a clash. So when you look at the above image you see what looks like bars behind Lincoln. Actually this coin looks like a double clash marks on obverse and parts of one the reverse where the shoulder is looks like three clash marks. The outline of the head looks single. The right side of the reverse looks like it was previously clashed and polished as well. Looks like the obverse die rotated during the clash. Nice find in BU. Report this Post to the Staff

2014Cent Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 01/27/2015 11:02 am It looks like a triple event clash. Have you looked on maddieclashes.com? Report this Post to the Staff
scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 01/27/2015 11:23 am Yes. It is similar to TDC-1c-1971D-01, but TDC-1c-1971D-01 does not show the reverse clash this coin has. So, I guess that makes my coin different than TDC-1c-1971D-01? I don't pay much attention to die clashes, so I don't know what to make of it. Mad Die Clashes Report this Post to the Staff

TJLang Valued Member 424 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 10:03 am Funny The highest reward in my collection is... A 2x2 with 3 staples and writing on it. That means it's staying in the book FOREVER! Report this Post to the Staff
