southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 08/15/2018 8:43 pm I've looked at this so many times trying to think it through to determine what is going on, if anything. I'm looking too hard and ready to toss it. At first I thought a clash but my nickel overlay said maybe on some of it, but not the rest. Some of it looks like it could be struck thru. I'm not ruling out a die crack, but don't think so. Left of the dome, below the building and right of the dome. Using this overlay they all appear to be clashes. http://www.maddieclashes.com/wp-con...40137819.jpg Sorry about the high number of photos but I wanted to provide you with what you might need to help. Am I cropping the photos too tight? Can somebody take an independent look and tell me what you think? Edited by southsav 08/15/2018 8:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 08/15/2018 8:49 pm I only see what really looks like a die clash. If you are saying that the inverted bust on the rev doesn't line up when you do an overlay, then it isn't a die clash, but that would be very odd I think. I see no evidence of these linear defects being die cracks.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 9:08 pm Overlays always look better on proof coins. I decided just to put the bust and the buildings on the over lay. That is usually the affected areas. Report this Post to the Staff
