RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 5:17 pm Looks to be a clash in front of eye from the branch on reverse. There's also very faint angled part lower of A between TR of TRUST. Oh boy I told myself not ever to do that again but I did. Picked up 2 boxes of nickels, dimes, quarters and bunch of Lincoln's. Lol. I do NOT like searching nickels or dimes. Quarters real close also. Should've stuck with just cents. Edited by RobO411 03/28/2021 9:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 5:25 pm @rob, it certainly seems to be in the right location to be a clash, but the width seems a bit different to me. Maybe a die gouge?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 6:29 pm Well there is a weakened area on the eye and nose, that looks like the die had an issue with Feeder Finger Damage. But a clash may have affected that area after the dies fields were reduced and could leave a mark on that area. So I fell that is what you are seeing a die clash line. (I've got images of the reverse Feeder Finger Damage, but not yet seen it on the obverse, which is possible. Just haven't seen it yet) Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 9:35 pm It looks correct for a heavy clash. The fields may have shown as clashed at one time, but die polishing could have removed all but the deepest areas. I have a 1985-P that was struck with strongly clashed dies. It shows the same line at the nose/eye area. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 9:40 pm I sent picture with yellow arrows. On the coin there is a tip of leaf below chin and part of the one leg of A between TR. Just can't get them in a picture. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/29/2021 10:17 pm It's doubtful that the dies were aligned properly when they clashed. They were slightly off most likely. That would account for the larger offset seen on the coin as compared to the overlay. The more I look at your coin the more evidence I find of a strong clash on the dies used to strike your coin.

Hallor Bill New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 03/29/2021 10:50 pm I can see some remanence of an upper leaf formation at the mouth just below the bottom lip that sort of form a "V" shape. I've wondered about die gouges and Feeder Finger Damage. Is it the feeder fingers that causes the gouge or is there actually something else on the die that causes it. I've seen some that look like something dragged on a part of the coin and then I've seen some that look almost like teeth marks. Which is which, and how do they affect grading. I'm new here. Can someone take me to school on this. Report this Post to the Staff
