John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 7:07 pm The reverse is a die clash. It is in bay 8 also..The obverse must have been changed out for a new die. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 7:14 pm Bay 3 is back of coat clash, Bay 4, = ? Don't know what that is, file/polish mark or gouge maybe. Notice Bay 8 and NW corner Rooftop. Bet you'll see others. Make sure you use the right overlays, copper/zincolns are different! Report this Post to the Staff
Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 7:37 pm Thanks John and Butch!! I just thought that both Obverse and reverse would be clashed! Never figure the obverse die would be changed. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 8:02 pm Don't discount the chance that the anomaly in bay 4 could be a clash from a different clash event just because it is out of position . Here is one of mine that is a ways away from the norm. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 8:43 pm Two die clashes can happen. I've seen that before. But rotation of dies can also accompany die clashes. Clashes to the dies are not a good thing. A lot of polishing can thin the dies devices. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 9:54 pm It does look like two different clashes happened on your coin with a die rotation in between.
