coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 1:15 pm Looks like a die chip making it look like drool. The coin was struck from a VLDS die. You can see the Die Deterioration on the LIBERTY and the heavy die flow on the obverse. So the die is showing its age. The reverse die looks like it is a lot fresher die than the obverse.

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 2:20 pm if I understand die clashes correctly, it would be hardly possible for the highest points of the coin to be affected especially without other parts being affected as well. The highest points on the coin are the most incused parts of the die and when the dies clashed they would be "shielded" by the higher points. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 2:34 pm Correct. The fields are usually the only areas affected by a clash. They are the outside edge of the die, the devices are deeper into the die. When a clash happens the two fields touch and where there is an outline of the devices, there maybe a transfer on those areas of the outline of the devices. (the deeper part of the die is not affected) Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/26/2019 12:53 pm Another clue is the die flow on the fields. That is the first thing I noticed. That tells the die is aging. So a die chip is something that can happen. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/26/2019 1:49 pm Here's an overlay of the dime that I did to help study a clashed dime. This shows a centered clash, but it can be a misaligned clash as well. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
