brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 10/17/2007 2:51 pm Is this pretty common? The pillars of the memorial are visible on the obverse. It's only noticeable at an angle so it was kind of hard to get good pics. Also, same coin different pic, is that doubling under the nose? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/18/2007 4:33 pm The mark on the nose and upper lip your seeing is Machine Doubling. Also common, but more common than the die clash/jailhouse clash. The strong the better for clashes. The reverse may also have clash marks. The reverse clashes are more common than obverse clashes that I have noticed. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 10/21/2007 12:13 am Think about that for a second...OK...Time's Up... The dies clash simultaneously. That means that there are equal numbers of obverse dies and reverse dies created that have clash marks. It is likely that due to the differences in the designs of the obverse and reverse dies that subsequent strikes after the clash would likely obliterate the details of the clash on the obverse dies sooner than the evidence of the clash on the reverse dies. So if you mean that you can see the results of die clashes on the reverse more often, that would likely be correct. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
