RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 8:46 pm This looks to have at least five different strikes in bays 4 and 5 combined. Bays 8, 9, above the roof above bay 3 and below the left pedestal are affected also. I did overlays which lined up the bays and below the memorial all lined up together. It's strange how they all are over to the east and N/S. The die sure moved around. Usually bays 3 and 4 are affected with this clash. It's not listed on Mad Die. The coin does have a lot of abrasions but I guess they couldn't get to those two bays very well. I wonder why they didn't scrap the die sooner. It would've been something to see before they put the grinder to it. The obverse has no clash marks. Thank you for looking and commenting. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94932 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 9:48 pm I wonder if they had to change out the obverse die due to that damage. And we are looking at a new die pair.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8733 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 10:02 pm Very cool find, Rob! Looks to be a type I counter clash. Not this one that is similar but will show you what I mean. LINK http://www.maddieclashes.com/cclti-1c-1988-04/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 09:15 am Thanks everyone. I have around 100 Lincoln's with some sorta clash on them. This is the first time I've spent time to check them out. Jon. I see what you're saying. With just getting into these clashes stuff. Going to (try) to figure out how if it's a counter. ( which one?) Anyone have ideas of figuring it out? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 09:22 am definitely looks like multiple clashes but I'm not seeing evidence of counterclashing. A counterclash would show part of an extra column bar or part of the roof next to these clashes. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 12:53 pm Greg. If I'm figuring it out right, the counter needs something from the same side along with the clash is on. Lol if I made any sense. I'm working on a 83 LM coin which I think has a counter. I think after this one I'm going to stop with this clash stuff for awhile. They're (almost) as aggravating as the VAMS (Almost). Mainly because some have a lot of abrasion. Report this Post to the Staff

That was why I picked the listing I left a link to. Maybe nothing but looks like columns to me. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
