That's amazing that you cherrypicked this variety for Silver melt value! That blows my mind away. You got a great deal on it. Errers and Varietys.

Thank you guys. I recently started a circulated (nothing fancy) Franklin Whitman album. I only need three more to complete the set but when I was at the coin shop, I forgot which dates I needed. So I was looking through the silver melt bin. I guess it was really a circulated/scrap silver bin. I paid $8.00 a few dollars over melt for it. When I got it home, I already had a 51. Then I noticed the clash. It looks pretty strong. It actually looks more like Hitler's mustache to me, rather then bugs bunny's tooth.
I'll make a special label and stick it in the back of the album.

Give something a interesting name and people collect them. Just a die clash mark. So many cases of a coin that had no real variety, suffered a die event and now people pay big money for them. A lot of die events are becoming these. That is why I'm a variety collector. They are at least a die variety.

Is there a specific/dedicated website for these that show estimated populations, dates, conditions, prices, etc...? Most of these I see (on ebay) are 55's. |

  But the design of the reverse is what makes this clash happen. |

Give something a interesting name and people collect them. Hence the reason everyone want to give some cutesy name to every die scratch, crack, gouge, clash etc so they can try to justify charging a premium price for them. Anytime you had dies striking Franklins halves they might clash, and if so you can have a "bugs bunny" Different die pairs can clash so you ca have more than one "bugs bunny" die pair in a given year. A die may be normal, clash and have a "bugs" then be polished and no more "bugs". Same pair of dies, three die stages. Die clashed do NOT create die varieties. Heck could even clash again give you four stages and two DIFFERENT "bugs" for the same die pair. |

Hence allows collectors, hobbyists and numismatists to try and articulate and justify an anomaly with fancy terms and phrases. You mean something like this?  Edited by USSID18
