thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 10/17/2007 03:22 am When the bank told me the SQs still hadn't come in I decided to grab a few rolls of these dollars for the heck of it. On one coin I found some cracks and marks that I thought was interesting. For all I know these marks may be common on this coin. First pic has a large crack on the dollar sign and other marks that may be cracks too.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/17/2007 10:55 am I don't think those are die cracks... look at the armpit- that looks like an eye, I am pretty am pretty sure those are clash marks. Is that a GW $1? One way to tell better would be to take a straight-on photo of the whole coin with the obverse of another dollar matched up beside it. Report this Post to the Staff
bonham3 Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 10/17/2007 11:39 am Hi Yes, it is a die clash. Refered to as "Extra Spike" liberty. it is considered a minor error. I guess they state minor because the #'s found are in the thousands. I would keep one or two of them and wait and see in a yr. or two what the final word may be on them. No loss on value anyway.

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 10/17/2007 12:34 pm Thanks for the replies. I agree that they are not die cracks except for the one coming straight up from the dollar sign. I just didn't know what to call the other marks and I wasn't sure if clash marks were innies or outties:0 The first one I mentioned I am pretty sure sure (not absolutely) is a crack. I will try getting better pics of that one. It is GW. Here is another pic that I think will give a better idea of what this is. It doesn't seem to resemble clash markings.

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 10/17/2007 10:06 pm So then I guess in the final analysis everyone believes the mark above the dollar sign is a clash mark and not a die crack? I would just like final confirmation after I posted new pic. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/17/2007 11:33 pm Look at the obverse of your GW $1, particularly the left side of the face where that flip of hair creates a crease by the cheek- that is your reverse clash mark by the $ sign Edited by biokemist6 10/17/2007 11:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 10/18/2007 1:34 pm Thanks for your reply biokemist6. I did check it out again and you're right on. All systems check. Report this Post to the Staff
gatzdon Valued Member United States 280 Posts	Posted 10/18/2007 8:05 pm The mark between the $ and the 1 is from George's Eye. Look on George's Chin and you should see marks from Liberty's crown. I have several missing edge inscriptions and they also have these two same clash marks. Once you know what they are, they are very easy to spot. Report this Post to the Staff
