I did on my own..YAAAAAAY. Anyway, the reverse of this 1886 Seated dime is clashed with the Oberverse of a Seated dime. Some parts more deep then others and one part even completely cuts thru the E in DIME. hard to see in pix!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/26/2008 7:31 pm There are a lot of things you need to know if your using Photoshop. But I think what you were going for was this? Top image Obverse, Middle reverse with clash marks and lower image overlay. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/26/2008 7:50 pm After re-checking the overlay, I noticed it was exactly over the clash mark. So I tried moving it off center and that wasn't it either. So I rotated one of the dies and that's it. Report this Post to the Staff

Die clashes are very common on 19th century US coinage, and almost every single time you see a step-down straight line running across the field it's a die clash - no overlay needed. Overlays are much more useful in determining similarities or differences in unknowns. Your coin is pretty obviously a die clash at first glance - no need going through all the work to prove it.
