Jazzcoins Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 12/11/2008 9:32 pm I think it's a die clash too ,besides a lamination. I see some letters from the reverse E pluribus unium on the obverse the letters BUS unless my eyes are tricking me ,you should post the reverse too. Is there any incused images from the obverse on the reverse ? Jazzcoins Joe Edited by Jazzcoins 12/11/2008 9:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/12/2008 10:30 am Its just lamination. If it were a clash the EPU would be 180 degrees rotated and the E-P would be in front of the eye/into the devices near the rim. So I don't think that area is affected. The straight line effect can be see on several lamination's. Here is an example of one I found. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/12/2008 7:51 pm This is ONLY a lamination. A die clash would not affect the raised areas of the design. The areas where some are seeing letters is just an effect of the squared-off edges of the lamination. Report this Post to the Staff
