Talonbat Valued Member Canada 395 Posts	Posted 07/09/2016 9:27 pm I saw a similar topic and the mark on my 20 cent piece looked very similar with some extras. Doesn't look like a die clash as it doesn't fit just wondering if anyone has any ideas. First 2 I took with a macro lens, last with a normal. Report this Post to the Staff

lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 07/10/2016 4:37 pm I have seen many of these die clashes. But the 4 small deposits on the nose remind me of a condition called "spikes". A spike is excess silver squirted back under the die which is worn or damaged in places. Report this Post to the Staff
