Dual-brain Valued Member United States 404 Posts	Posted 01/27/2017 8:03 pm Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but clashing is when (during minting) the dies hit together when no planchet was in between. This causes some designs from the obverse to transfer to the reverse and vice versa. The spike jutting out and down away from the middle of the neck (i believe) is part of the wing of the eagle from the reverse. Under the right wing (i believe, please correct me if I'm wrong) you can see design elements from the bottom right of liberty's hair [this is found between the eagle's wing and the wreath] And the left side is sometimes visible elements of (I believe) Liberty's face Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 01/27/2017 8:12 pm Looks like it could make 64. The scratches by the chin and base of neck look a little more than superficial. Worth a reholdering? Sorry only a $15 difference between 63 and 64. Not worth reholdering. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
