thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 01:48 am I don't think this is a die chip- it's too big. So what is it? It caught my eye right away. OOps. I need to edit the photos. By the way the obverse is normal. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...83rev2-1.jpg Edited by thingee 01/19/2009 01:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 01:58 am Hmmm. I didn't think about that. Thank you Mike. Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 06:31 am If you are talking about the high spot on the 4th column in from the left, then I think this is just metal pushed up from a ding or a scuff. A clash would show up between the columns, not on top of them. I think this is post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 11:05 am I have found many with that mark and I believe it to be a die clash. Notice where the back of the neck will leave a mark. Report this Post to the Staff
mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 11:38 am thingee, Notice all the polishing/grinding marks from repairing the die. I'll bet that the whole area around the memorial is slightly raised looking. I'm no pro, but have seem many of these. Mike Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 3:15 pm Mikep, I see what you mean about the die polish marks. I didn't notice that this morning. I might have to back peddle on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 01/20/2009 12:43 am After Mike saying that it was a clash I looked at it again and I agree. It is pushed through. I notice that this area on the zinc coins is frequently subjected to a clash some more noticable than others. And Rockdude thanks for pics. It's the perfect illustration!
