Raist New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 06/08/2017 01:20 am So I grabbed some nickel rolls from the bank on my way home today, and low and behold, a nice 1954 S Die Clash nickel (at least I think)! Theres also a 56 P nickel here that looks like it might be a very light die clash similar to the 54s, but I cant get the camera to show it at all. Does anyone know if theres also a known die clash for 56 P? A - 1954 S Nickel Die clash error B - 1956 P nickel Possible Die clash Error - Again these pictures are really bad at showing it and it is VERY faint. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Raist 06/08/2017 01:25 am Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/08/2017 02:33 am I don't see any die clashes. With the first coin, I believe it's "ghosting", especially on the reverse. I can't make out much of anything on the second coin. Edit: Ghosting is not an error, just a metal flow issue.
