Thanks CC, it is odd isn't it? I hope Coop or JC will shed some light on it.

That going on on the reverse is not a die clash. It is Die Deterioration known as progressive indirect design transfer, and it's most common on 1946-S and 1947-S cents. Back then the overused the dies until they died. Bad joke, I know, |

The ghosting effect always looks neat.

The 1950's Wheat cent dies were over used past normal retirement. that is why that decades wheat cents look for beat to beat even in BU. The mushiness of the strike on the reverse, is not from coin circulation, it look like that when it was a fresh coin. You can see the reverse ghost image on the reverse:   When that appears on the a coin the die was suffering from "Progressive indirect design transfer." Note the obverse Motto devices. They look out of focus, but that is how worn these devices have become. The IDB is just a normal even that happens because of this abuse of using the dies past their normal retirement. Even proof dies were reused on the quarter series and now I just found out the haves also had the proof reverses used after 1956 that were the new design. So look for these on the 1956-1963 have dollar reverses. The eagle on the reverses were different. (1958-1959 have been noted, but other years in that range may also have had this happen. (sorry going off on a tangent) But the events that happened to those dies are just an indication of them using each die, until it died! |

Yes, there are three main names for it, Progressive Indirect Design Transfer, Internal Metal Displacement Phenomenon, and the shortest and most used, Ghosting. When dies are used too much, they transfer design elements to each other right through the coins they strike a little at a time, over a lot of time. Coop's pic here has been used to describe it.  (Newton's Cradle) Here's one I found a while back.   |
