Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 09/09/2016 12:23 pm Here is the closest error I could find for "die smear". I am not sure there is an error called "die smear"? http://www.error-ref.com/?s=die+smear This coin may have been squeezed in a vice.

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 09/09/2016 5:43 pm The proper terminology for a "die smear" would probably be Slide Doubling. I have a Kennedy half dollar showing this type of doubling very well. If I can find it, I will post some images of it later. Your coin has been damaged after it was struck. Like in a vise or press of some sort. Damaged coins are not worth any more than face value unless there is metal value in them, like Silver, Gold, or Copper. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 09/09/2016 6:04 pm On this image, you can see the whole obverse side of the coin. Notice how the die slid over the entire surface, leaving a smeared look to all the details . Edited by cwb 09/09/2016 6:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 09/09/2016 6:05 pm Here is a close up of the date area. See how the details look smeared? Edited by cwb 09/09/2016 6:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
