This is not really anything special being just a die clash but I've looked at hundreds of 1888's and this is the most complete clash I've come across. It's not often you see a clash of the "1" and "C" to the right of the Queen. I Just thought I'd share it as die clashes to some make a coin even more interesting. Comments welcome. Cheers, Bill    |

Wow that is really clear! Are there similar traces of the obv design visible on the rev of this coin?

That is an impressive die clash! I like the radial die crack from the rim to the tip of the bust as well. It looks like there may be some field displacement?

Appreciate the comments. I knew I should have posted the reverse also. Spence, I don't see to much on the reverse at all there's evidence of a clash but not to the same extent. Cheers, Bill  Edited by Hounddog Bill

Ok thx for posting the rev@hb. I agree not nearly as much to see with this side.

If that reverse die was involved in the clash event I'll bet is was slightly harder than the obverse die. Cool example!  |
