CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 12/01/2018 11:49 pm Hello. I'm not super experienced with Die clashes, so I may be asking an ameteur question, but This coin appears to have Die scratches or a die clash. I think Die clashes have to be bigger and match with the obverse of the coin( if clash is On reverse). Tell me what you think! Thank you! Happy hunting. -CoinHunter27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74806 Posts	Posted 12/02/2018 01:15 am Yes, you are 100% correct! These are called Die Scratches. These are from whatever item they use to polish the die down, when they need to repair the die, when a Die Clash event happens. Someone on here told me that they can use an Emery stick, to file down the die. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/02/2018 01:50 am They are die polishing scratches. Dies are polished to remove the effects of a clash, but this is not a clash.
