Coindom76 Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 02:01 am Hey all, While looking through my change tonight I came across this 1985p nickel with, what appears to be, decent clashing on both the obverse and reverse. I have found a good amount of error coins, in circulation, in my area as of the last 6 months or so. Someone must be pushing them out because most are older, 80s, 90s, early 2000s, not new coins. I find these types of errors often in my change from the local market. I received this nickel today in change. I'm still having trouble identifing the DDO/R coins but I'll keep swinging away at them until I get the different types understood. I like hunting through circulated coins, received in change, for errors much more than purchasing someone elses find. I figured that I would share with the community. Thanks, Coindom76 Report this Post to the Staff

Coindom76 Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 02:15 am Yes, that is the most visible clash area on the reverse unless you zoom in on it. It is very faint on the obverse but it is there. Thanks as always coop. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 02:59 am Just as there are varying degrees of acne, the strength of a die clash can vary as well. As this one is not a strong one, one that was posted the other day was stronger: This one is a strong one, not the areas near the building? But there is a stronger example that I had shared with me years ago that I call a monster die clash: Note the clash date on this image above. Probably the only one with a die clash on the date. I feel this is a monster die clash. Report this Post to the Staff
Coindom76 Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 04:07 am Wow coop, Thank you for sharing and describing the differences in the degree that clashes can vary. This happens when dies are struck together accidentally without a planchet in the press? That is a strong, monster die clash coop. The 1984p shared yesterday is the strongest clash that I have in my collection to date. Report this Post to the Staff
