Yep, Guatemalan (and many other Central American) coins of the late 19th century are replete with interesting die clashes, cracks and other errors since the minting process was often very crude. Honduran 5/10/25 centavos from the same period are the most extreme examples of this in my experience - but all the more interesting for it! Report this Post to the Staff
JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 12/17/2015 1:01 pm I discovered this interesting clash a while back. Apparently the Guatamalan mint had inexperienced coin press operators and absolutely no QC (quality control)! Report this Post to the Staff
