1992 P Large Reverse Die Clash

nice find. is there any columns clashed on the obverse?

Nice find!

Hi,

Creating a new thread on the following verbiage seemed to be unnecessary since we are discussing the related subject of the existence of a clash or not.

In addition to LHCs I collect many older coins when my budget allows so being better informed will hopefully prevent me from spending my $ unwisely...

My objectives had always been to collect coins with unusual 'varieties' or anomalies. And if they carried a premium: all the better.

Until recently the thought of finding a clashed coin was something very desirable since I had always thought that any undiscovered clashed coin would be a new type of variety. I used to shell out significantly more money for these clashed specimens.

But after doing much research on this matter it appears that using a clash as a PUP to ID a potentially new variety could be misleading especially on newer coins.

Obviously, a variety's raised line on the field, for example, produced from a defective die is a marker unique in and of itself.

It has been suggested that a clash, on the other hand, might and might not be present on the same coin depending upon the amount of wear/deterioration found on the striking die. This is plausible since a mint employee performing QC could periodically decide to clean things up a bit to avoid confrontations with upper level management.

As an example an EDS may not manifest the clash while the same coin produced from a LMDS will...

The aforementioned comments are my past and present personal preferences and my most recent research findings.
