paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/20/2015 9:47 pm The Mint was not exactly on top of its game in 1865, perhaps understandably. Not only is this 1865 nickel 3 cent fully clashed obverse and reverse, it's struck in medal orientation, aka 180 degrees of die rotation. It is an excellent display of a fully clashed die error, and shows how the clash and other die issues can mimic very worn surfaces. Coin is slabbed in a PCGS holder. Test your grading skills out here and see how you come out vs. the folks at PCGS.
