OrDirtDevil Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 04/26/2009 12:37 pm Found this in my collection looking for some trader coins. Looks like a lot of the braid and ribbon details are missing and most of the neck details. Is this a grease filled or over polished die coin or something else? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/26/2009 8:11 pm This isn't the same year, but you might get an idea what happens during a clash with a Nickel die pair. The neck line and ribbon may have suffered due to a clash remove cleaning/polishing leaving the devices weakened on you coin. This happens when they want to cover a clash.

There is one clash that is the strongest I have ever seen and it is on a Nickel. You might like to take a peek. Report this Post to the Staff
Dnickels Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 04/28/2009 02:47 am Very interesting. Is a die clash when the two sides hit together without a blank in the middle and leave an imprint on each other? Never seen that before. Report this Post to the Staff
