You know me: there's something wrong if I can't find a die clash to share here. I pulled this one out of the copper sort pile last night. I recognized it as a die clash based on the reverse, and saw the odd raised ridge on the right obverse field. When I got the picture on my laptop screen, I noticed the lamination markers from about 1 to 4 o'clock on the obverse. (Or I think they're lamination markers.)

Reverse picture here out of obligation more than utility. The clash marks are best seen with lighting at an angle.

The next two pictures are with the coin angled to highlight the die clash marks. If my above diagnosis of lamination flaw is correct, then the marks on the obverse field right of Lincoln and above the date would be remnants of the "prisoner cent" bars. Even if that is incorrect, there is still a vertical bar coming off Lincoln's right shoulder (our left) that is consistent with the memorial's roof.

Clash marks galore on the reverse. The usual marks in bays three, seven, and eight. Bridge of Lincoln's nose above CENT. Outline of Lincoln's bust running from the top left corner of the memorial to the D in UNITED. (I think there may be a clash mark off the right side of the memorial to the top right rim, that isn't showing up, but it's in acetone now so I can't check.)

I was thinking about getting rid of this one before I saw the lamination, but maybe it'll go into a 2x2 for the keeper collection instead of ebay..

I'm pretty sure I see the clash, but I'm not seeing a lamination.

If it is, it must be the slightest hint that I'm not making out in the pics.

Edit: I just noticed that you must mean from 1 to 4 o'clock running along the rim. I don't know what that is or whether it's consistent with some form of lamination error.
