1986 Cent: Unique Die Clash Question

*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. ***


Hello. This is my first post.

After going through 3 jugs of coins from my father-in-law,I found what looks like a die clash. The problem I'm having is I haven't found anything anywhere about a die clash like the one I found for a 1986 Lincoln Cent.

Am I not understanding it correctly that there will be some/many of the same variety struck until the operator catches the issue and fixes it?

I have a 1986 Lincoln Cent that shows the Memorial across Lincoln's head (with rotation) and some of the words from the reverse pressed into the rim of the obverse and the same for the reverse showing words on the rim of the reverse.

There seems to be a significant rotation in the die clash as well it as being off center.

Shouldn't there be more in circulation with a similar marking until the mint operator caught this issue? Why haven't I found any on any if the larger websites for these issues?

I'm going to try to add some photos that I've taken with my phone. If people would like better pictures, I can set up my good camera with a macro lens and update this post.

Thank you so much for the information I've already found on this site and I look forward to learning so much more.

Bill
