Fender79 Valued Member United States 251 Posts	Posted 08/02/2019 1:30 pm Wow that overlay pic is an excellent tool to know what the image is behind his face. Theres also some that are on back of his neck that lines up perfect with your photo!is this whats called a die clash? Are they worth much? And finally how does this happen?

hybrid Valued Member United States 203 Posts	Posted 08/02/2019 1:41 pm Die clashes happen when there is no coin in the striking chamber and the dies strike each other leaving an inverted reverse design on the obverse or an obverse design on the reverse Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/02/2019 2:01 pm But the stronger the die clash, the more interesting it is. Yours is a very nice one. I would like to see wider images to see other areas of the clash. I have images of an ultimate die clash on a nickel. (very strong) The first coin I could even see the date on. But maybe people of getting tired of looking at it? Report this Post to the Staff

Fender79 Valued Member United States 251 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 3:51 pm Here are a couple more images and o e of the back side for good measure. It looks really clean and normal except for some hash slash looking marks toward the bottom. On the face there are some faint traces of feathers on right side on neck. Any idea what this may be worth? Report this Post to the Staff
