Bella57 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 11/20/2016 6:33 pm I think this is a die clash. But I still am learning. You guys have such good input. If I am correct and this is a clash. It seems slightly rotated. Is that normal? Are die clashes of any importance to collectors or is it a common finding? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2016 6:40 pm Sometimes on die clashes when the even happens, it may slightly move the alignment. Then coins struck after that event will show the rotation of the clash on the coins, until it is polished off the field of the die. Not sure what is going on with the reverse on your coin?

Error collectors search for them and I don't think real common. Check ebay SOLD listings to see what they're worth. The arc on the top half of the reverse might be damage. But it looks like the rest of the yellow arrows point to clash marks. Report this Post to the Staff

Lesser clashes sell on ebay frequently for around $8, this one would probably go for almost twice that. Not bad for a nickel, very nice find. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2016 10:29 pm I doubt it would get a bid on ebay. The clash is barely visible. Report this Post to the Staff
Bella57 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 11/21/2016 2:19 pm The picture of the back of the coin is not very good. I can see the clash on that side better in person. Yes I see that the arc is damage. Thanks to everyone for the input. It may not be worth much but it's exciting for a novice like me to recognize an error and have it confirmed. Also what is the date when coins are considered modern? Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/21/2016 4:56 pm I'd be excited myself. I haven't ever found a clash. And if I did find one, it would be my first so I would have to keep it. As for the question about modern coins....I don't know but that could be a whole topic of discussion by itself, and it probably should be. It makes it easier for lurkers to find what they're searching for. Report this Post to the Staff
