NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 981 Posts	Posted 07/29/2022 3:23 pm Nope.... Not contact marks, or PMD. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 981 Posts	Posted 07/29/2022 4:02 pm C'mon, I thought you guys were sharp.... Where is the Coop? He's the one who taught me this one. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff
Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 07/29/2022 4:19 pm It could maybe be a clash mark from the oak leaves on the reverse, but I can't tell for sure, maybe a closer picture of the area would confirm it for me. Report this Post to the Staff
NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 981 Posts	Posted 07/29/2022 4:22 pm BINGO! Oak leaf & acorn clash. There is other evidence of the clash on both obverse and reverse. Attached is the OB/Rev of this coin side by side. Excellent job Dave! "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Edited by NY Islander 07/29/2022 5:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/30/2022 7:51 pm Dime Overlays: Report this Post to the Staff
NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 981 Posts	Posted 07/30/2022 10:09 pm Thanks for the overlays Coop..... Although my coin doesn't line up exactly as indicated in the overlay. The coin appears to have shifted west revealing more of the acorn than the leaf in the clash. This shift can also be seen in the western rim of the obverse. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD."

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 07/30/2022 10:23 pm @NY COOP put you the overlay. You do not have. Second: Do you want to tell me that the clash was west? In 2000 the coins come west to east in presses. Third: Explain me the clash only in the lower part of the bigger height relief of the observe. I am curios of an plausible explanation and include in my next book. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/31/2022 12:57 pm Well during a clash the dies can rotate. So this rotation may have taken place before your coin was struck. If this happens a second time and the dies have moved again, then you will see two sets of clash lines: This proves that the dies do rotate on the dies between clashes. If the clash happens twice, it can rotate and alter the sub devices as on this dime. But this is not common. The Clashes are most often seen on the fields. But in the case of a sever clash, other devices can be seen on the fields including dates an outer devices: CoopHome: What does a super clash look like? even sub level devices can be transferred on a heavy clash Edited by coop 07/31/2022 1:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
