CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 04/17/2021 03:49 am I'm suspecting a chunk of die polish fell out of the memorial?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/17/2021 04:16 am I think that is part of a die clash? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 04/17/2021 12:18 pm Thanks for the help on this. Interestingly I found a topic posted in 2013 on a 68 D regarding these very bays 7 & 8. This must have been the result of a clash? http://goccf.com/t/150738 "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 04/17/2021 10:34 pm Greg. Is there any other area that you can see any evidence of a clash? If it is a clash. Could it be a double clash? First hit showing in bay 8 second hit showing in bay 7? What is this inside of circle? Edited by RobO411 04/17/2021 10:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 04/18/2021 02:39 am Taking another look for clash evidence I flipped the image and it looks like the chin and maybe tie area? Doesn't line up exactly with the overlay though. Comparing to another 68 D it would seem it is a die clash. Maybe this is a before and after die polishing example?
