Hey everyone. I am pleased to announce that my new phone FINALLY arrived! I had to get a kinda extra sweet one so it would be compatible with my DJI Mavic Mini Drone. Had to meet all sorts of requirements to even download the app! So after literal weeks of online searching and a particularly long shipment, I finally got it. 13 megapixels of wonderous die crack seeking photography thunder! Now I just have to learn to unleash these fiery pixel grainules to seek and destroy. But even with my newb skill set, it does pretty good! I just can't believe my old Galaxy was as bad as it was... Anyway, to the coin. I really think this one should be a fine contribution to the coin collection community. I say this because this one has just a bit more Clash features present than the other 2 I've seen online. It helps show what was going on with the dies when they clashed. As far as the alignment goes anyway. If you look through the words "One Cent" you can see a long going upward to the east. That's the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial. On the right you can see the just about the whole side edge of the building. Unfortunately even with my new phone I couldn't capture it all the way, but it's there. And there are small remnants of the second clash at a different rotation as well. If you're familiar with the coin you can probably somewhat see the clashing on the edge behind United that is the major part of the other examples. Anyway, let me know what you guys think. I'm thinking of kinda highlighting the clashes with some neon for reference when I get the time too.     |

@chj, the new pics look pretty good! I'm not sure why you think this is a mule though.

Pretty good photos--a bit more in-focus might help. Checked the error-ref link. Given the photos posted I'm not seeing what's referenced in the link--at least in the vicinity of UNITED. Let's see what others think. Interesting.

 to the CCF! I'm not seeing a match between your coin and the Error-Ref coin. The letters on the Error-Ref coin are large and well defined. I think it may just be Die Deterioration and some circulation damage. EDIT: I did an overlay of the Error-Ref coin to show the alignment of the clash. It may help understand what to look for if searching for this Mule Clash coin. Click on the photo for a larger image ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Hey yokozuna, that's crazy. Thanks for the help! After seeing that one, I do think I have it. In the first one I found. I'll get pics up Ina minute. It's been in a 2x2 for a few months.

It may be that the pictures aren't quite clear enough to show the clash, but I'm still not seeing it (I do need new pair of glasses.) Anyone else?  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Aye you guys are a tough bunch.. but it's necessary. I wouldnt take the time to make these posts unless I was pretty convinced I had what I was claiming, so getting told otherwise and why, I genuinely find valuable. I REALLY appreciate any advice/mentoring I get. Even if it's tough. So thanks guys.
BUT... the second one I posted does have Clashy looking marks on the edge near United. But ever since I found that coin and considered the possibility of it being that mule clash, I've wondered what that diagonal whatever mess is. And it's kinda intriguing that it fits EXACTLY where the roof portion of the Memorial is on the Overlay pic... I think so anyway.
But a also, I wonder what the line and side of memorial thing is on the first coin in the post is. Cuz I'm like 95% sure it's the side of the Memorial. As always its hard to get on camera... Oh yeah, and if I remember correctly, didn't the 99 mule get clashed twice? At different angles? ? Anyway, thanks again guys.

I see no evidence of the 1999 mule clash on this specimen.

Try placing something under the side of the coin (I normally use 1-3 cents) to lift it up at a angle, then take a couple pictures. Sometimes I need to do that, to be able to show a clash better when I take pictures with an Ipad. All I see on your coin right now, is a few bumps near the rim at UNIT of United (especially under the N), in bays 4,7,8, below the M in America and going through CE of Cent. Not enough to make out what it is though. |

I have one similar to yours I think. I'm trying to see if anything matches here. Can you post pics of your other example? Thanks  |
