Hardesty420 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 11/13/2018 2:58 pm Hey every body! Still looking, and with this one I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is really there, or if I should put down the magnifying glass and step away from the coins for a while... so here goes... I found this 1966 Washington quarter, that I assume is a p for lack of the mint mark. The front looks normal enough maybe some wear, but then I turn it over and with the eagle facing upward, I notice something around his right wing... not to mention all the things that are going on with the letter around the edge of the coin... so please enlighten me, or tell me I need a break, but is that the back of Washington's head I see?

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4397 Posts	Posted 11/13/2018 3:08 pm The marks on the lettering around the edge is machine wrapping/rolling damage. However, the mark on the wing looks like a die clash. Report this Post to the Staff

Hardesty420 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 11/13/2018 8:12 pm The part that I am most focused on is the one by the wing. It looks to me like part of the obverse stamped completely through to the reverse. It is not in use. It is raised Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 11/13/2018 8:58 pm @Hardesty420, first welcome to CCF. Second, while I agree with @tanman, I think that the best way to confirm the presence of a die clash is to create an overlay of both sides of your coin and see if the details match up.

Hardesty420 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 11/14/2018 04:20 am Lol! An overlay?!?!? You all speak as if you think I know what I'm doing ... let's just say we are lucky to get the pictures... however, I had thought of that already, I'm just not tech savvy, and couldn't figure out how to flip and flop Lincoln's head... thanks tho guys! I'm so glad I found this forum!! And I never dreamed I could have sooo much fun sorting through dirty old coins. Report this Post to the Staff
