4mile123 Valued Member Canada 249 Posts	Posted 07/25/2021 1:18 pm Would ghosting be the proper term for the issue noticeable on this 1967 25c The outline of the Queen is visible on the reverse of the coin and there is some transfer of the Bobcat image on the obverse. How unusual is this? Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5594 Posts	Posted 07/25/2021 2:39 pm Hard to tell without it in hand, but it looks like a clash. But I just really don't know how modern coins fit in with the type of clashes that I know. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9873 Posts	Posted 07/25/2021 3:45 pm Ghosting is one name for this but not the proper name. I don't recall the proper name. It is not a clash but rather a transfer of the image from one die to the other through the struck coins. Every time a coin is struck a small amount of energy is transfered from the obverse die to the reverse die and vice versa. After many strikes, with certain designs, and under certain conditions the accumulated transfered energy eventually deforms the opposite die. Very common on silver dollars, often seen on 1967 fifty and twenty-five cents. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 07/26/2021 1:49 pm Could it be some sort of differential oxidization? I don't think the progressive image transfer is common on both sides of a single coin. Usually (as is the GB 1d) one side typically occurs based on the way the two sides of the design line up.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10464 Posts	Posted 07/28/2021 11:06 am Ghosting is an acceptable term to call that, the proper nomenclature in the error community is called 'indirect die transfer' It is common on a lot of early Elizabeth II coins, on almost all denominations. I even see this on 1968 nickel dollars. I put no additional value or premium on this feature... if collectors want an example for their collection, it is an easy one to hunt out.
