Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 2:50 pm to the CCF! I did an overlay that shows about where you should expect to find clash marks on this coin. While it could be a clash it seems to be more of a possible Die Dent to me. Here's the overlay. Click on the picture for a larger image.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 7:53 pm Thanks Yoko for the overlay (I need to learn how to do that) I don't think it lines up with a clash on the dime. As stated, a possible die dent. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 8:54 pm Overlays are wonderful and useful. But you also have to consider die rotation which sometimes occur in association with clash events. Is there any device that might have this size and shape around the perimeter of the coin?

Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 9:06 pm Good point Bump. What software are folks using to make these overlays? Collecting since 1972.
