Nice 1999-P LMC with what appears to be a double stuck die clash resulting in a doubled image of the Memorial Building being transferred to the obverse of the coin. I have seen a few die clashes with single images before but this is my first showing two images in the clash. I believe that the dies struck each other twice before a blank was feed into the press. Anyway wanted to share and get your opinions. Very strong clash and was easy to spot with the naked eye. Wonder how this will be labeled? (D/S Die - Die Clash) maybe? The penny arrived at PCGS today with my recent order to be graded.    |

Excellent Clash - did you see if it was listed on Maddieclashes? If it is then they should put that listed number on the slab I would think. Did you specify them to grade it with the error. Because I think it is extra service and charge for it.

That's a strong clash and very good pics. Nice job. The coin looks to be in good condition. Can you post pics of the full obverse and reverse?

And yes sent it in as an error and having it stabbed secure, so it also get TrueView. It is such a strong clash I wanted it graded.

It would be described as a 1999-P cent with two sets of die clashes with slight rotation between clashes. A nice interesting coin but probably worth less than the cost of slabbing.

Your probably right on the cost but I wanted to get it slabbed anyway. I will just pass it on to my heirs in their inheritance. At least it will be protected for future generations of collectors. Wonderful example to preserve. Some coins I slab because they are valuable and some because they are just cool. None of us actually own the coins in our collections, we are merely caretakers for the hobby. Sure we can profit but in a hundred years who cares if you made a buck. The coins will still exist because of our actions now.

Very nice clash! When dies clashe it often breaks the set screws or other fasteners a bit loose and the next clash will be offset from the first. Not unusual but nice!

Looks to me like I'm seeing at least three different sets of bays, maybe four. A very nice, strong Die Clash.  Edited by CoinMasters
