The mule clash on the 1999 is in a specifc area, west touching the rim. Yours is not that mule clash. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 12/19/2022 2:43 pm Coop, the OP is referring to a mule die clash on a 1999 cent which you have commented on before.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/20/2022 12:06 pm I have to disagree with the experts on these. They call them mad clashes, to me it is a dropped die issue done in transfer to the die shop. Reason? The transfer makes the devices mirrored. If this happened during the die creation process, then it would be normal, not mirrored. When on die damaged the other die, it would leave the devices mirrored on the die, thus why we see the mirrored images on the coins when struck. So I feel this is not a mad clash issue, but a dropped die issue. If this were a die creation issue, there would be a full run of these coins out there. I'm not seeing that. But if it was a dropped die event, (done in the workshop at the mint) then we would see a lot few of these dies on a later die state strikes. (But that is what I'm seeing on those issues) Still not sure what I should be seeing on the OP's coin. It could be zinc dust plated on the planchet, that shows after the strike.
