Very nice clash. Without the clash it is way above the usual strike for a 1985. John1  |

That clash is very distinct. The date is just about readable on the rev!

That clash is very distinct. The date is just about readable on the rev! The photos don't show everything as well as I wish they did, so I'll see if I can get better detailed shots this weekend. I do see that the reverse die was misaligned just to the West when they clashed and it was rotated by about 3 degrees. The obverse shows partial outlines of four oak leaves behind and under Roosevelt's ear and about 75% of the FULL outline of the torch on his neck, chin and in the field under his chin. I'm surprised at the amount of design transfer in this area because of the depth of the profile. I can see the top of the 1 and 9 from the date on the reverse as well as the upright of the P mint mark and even a bit of the "JS" initials touching the O in OF. Roosevelt's eyelid is visible just above the R in PLURIBUS. I haven't found a clashed coin that matches this coin's details, but I did find CCL(TI)-10c-1985-01 which could be a later stage of this die pair that's counter-clashed. It matches this coin almost exactly, but it's been clashed a second time with a slightly different alignment so that the clash has doubled lines and is not quite as strong. Here's the link to that coin. http://www.maddieclashes.com/cclti-10c-1985-01/ ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!

I'm still studying this coin. Here's an overlay showing the amount of misalignment and the very slight rotation.  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
