(Well, actually 7 because one of em is too faint to really matter) Apparently these 72p t3 TH's are pretty scarce possibly coming from a single die but more research needs to be done still. Crazy how I find 8 in one paper roll. I guess my luck continues. And this isn't counting the 8x 71d tallon heads I found too Oh, and 2 of em are double clashed * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 11/06/2015 8:07 pm Nice talons! I just love the way the dies with the incuse space between the talons "slap" together with the machines that were adopted from the military in 1964 to make the 1964 Peace dollars. You find a lot more of these from Denver than Philly because Denver did not have an automatic shut off. That is awesome and rare that these are from Philly.

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 11/07/2015 08:54 am Wait a second Kid, I didn't know that. So Philly had auto shutoff mechanisms but Denver didn't. That makes sense as to why the Philly's are scarce and why this is possibly from a single die as most TH's are 71d. I've seen a 78d as well bit no other P. I'm still mystified that I found 8 of em in one roll. Where'd you lean that tidbit Kid? Edited by Cascade 11/07/2015 08:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 12/15/2015 12:17 pm It's the little triangle void between the legs (talons) that causes it. It's raised enough to reach the shallow relief of the head on the die when they clash. Also, they can appear anywhere in the middle forehead to eye area from die rotation and some have 2 or three clashes in different areas of the upper middle head area Edited by Cascade 12/15/2015 12:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
