swcoin New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 02/11/2016 11:00 pm I came across this coin today. It looks like the reverse design was struck on the obverse before the obverse design was struck. Is this a known error for this coin? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 07:42 am Die clash are fairly common on the Three Cent Nickel, as are die chips and die cracks. Unless those die problems are severe it will not add value to the coin as an error. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 3:10 pm I'd say this passes for an extreme die clash, it's not often the design from one side intrudes into the other side so deep in the actual details of the coin's relief, mostly seen in the fields only.

mikepellerin New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 01/24/2018 02:44 am This was listed on ebay as an 1881 81/81 overdate. It's clearly a die clash. It cost me a pretty penny, but it's worth it. Report this Post to the Staff
