 I think it's very plausible it's just a rim ding. Let's see what others think. |

These look to be raised above the field. A clash would normally be an incuse feature. I agree with the die gouges.

I do as well (die gouges). If it were a die clash it would be a tilted die clash and would have part of E PLURIBUS UNUM seen below Lincoln's bust.

It's a special treat when I find a memorial reverse cent clash that has the ty of liberty showing as a clash on the reverse. These clashed letters are incuse on the coin. When the obverse die contacts the reverse die it is basically stamping it as if it were a coin. The resulting clash mark that is left on the reverse die thus mimics the face of a coin and is in relief. The subsequent coins struck with this die and it's ty in relief give us our incuse clashed ty's

I can see how clashes can be incuse sometimes but the majority have to be reliefs.

This is a bit confusing. I read your link, but the way it's worded makes it ambiguous.

You make a good point. Just from observations on my coins I have seen that a strong clash like your coin exibits shows a "raised" area where the opposing die's features were level with the field. The reverse of my dime shows this. I am certainly no expert to give the exact cause of this, possibly if Mr. Neff stops back in he can enlighten me as to the cause.  |

Yeah, that's it. Reliefs show up recessed and recesses show up in relief. So we are both wrong and right. lol

The devices on a coin are often the things that are recognized as features that are transferred when a clash occurs. The field areas of a die would of course makean incuse mark in the opposing die and thus strike the coin in relief. Its the raised devices on a coin that become incuse with a clash.
Should have said this last night but even 1+1 didn't add up
