1966 LMC : Die Gouge OBV - Clash Rev

Also... maybe I am seeing things - but slight doubling? on liberty ("RTY")....possibly (heavy) date?

Maybe has something to do with the other events going on on the coin. I assume they all developed from the clash...

1. The small 'L' is from die over polishing. (Must have been some kind of die event on that side of the die area, possible die damage. Usually polishing is used to remove a clash)
2. The marks in the motto could be two things, just can't tell from the images provided. If the marks do not go over the tops of the devices, they are die scratches that flow behind the devices. Or, if the lines flow over the devices, they are die cracks. (just can't tell from the images which)
3. I see a little evidence of a clash.



Looks like the die has is showing a lot of abrasion. Nothing there to keep really. People save things and then later spends them. But that is up to you.

Well probably not polishing, but probably happened when the die was polished. They are call die gouges. Lets say a piece of sand was on the table and the die was slid across the table. The fields are the outside face of the die. So it made gouges on that area. Die cracks flow over the devices.

What does a die crack look like on a die:

As the die continues to spread the crack will get larger and sometimes it can break off and make a Cud:

Then retired.

Interesting find Eye4Error! On the reverse, that sure looks like a Die Clash to me.
