Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 3:24 pm Hmm, I'm not seeing any die clash, despite plenty of good pics. Can you please describe which details you are seeing from the clash? Thx.

Davidlee New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 3:31 pm You can clearly see part of Lincoln shoulder up by the date. On the obverse look closely once again above the one cent you can see a floating A along with the huge raised section by the fg I meant reverse Edited by Davidlee 07/13/2019 3:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 3:38 pm @DL, is this where you are seeing the letter A? If so, then I think that it is most likely Pareidolia.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 4:10 pm I am not seeing "any" kind of die clash. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Davidlee New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 4:21 pm So die clash is the wrong term maybe Strike Doubling but clearly there is errors of some kind. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 4:25 pm Quote: clearly there is errors of some kind. Well perhaps, but three of us aren't seeing what you think you have. I'm virtually positive that the roughly A-shaped region above the C and E of CENT is not an error. Let's see what others think as they see your thread.

Davidlee New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 4:27 pm But why no mention of the other errors.. especially the raised spots below the fg Report this Post to the Staff
jungliston1 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 4:55 pm David Lee, are these the areas you are asking about? Looks Clashed if you follow the lines into Lincoln's neck, which look like Clash marks. With clashes, I have notice if there is heavy Die Polishing marks to remove a clash. If you follow a suspected Clash mark in the field to the Legend closest to it. Most often there is still clash marks on the Legends(Neck, Reverse Letters and Lower half of the Steps. Edward M.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 6:27 pm Possible die chips after the T in CENT. The other images you see are perhaps the result of coincidental circulation and die-polishing marks, or even imagined, like animal shapes in the clouds. to the CCF!
