I wasn't about to spend $30 for it though. The coin in question for you all to see is a 1944 S LWC with what I think is a clash. Is it possible for 2 reverse dies to clash?   A few other coins I was interested in but wouldn't pay the money for: 1955 Franklin Bugs (BU) - $63 1869 Shield nickel (F, corroded) - $54 1881 Shield nickel (VG) -$380 Edited by Seeker_101

Can't really tell what is exactly going on in that picture.

Picture is too blurry unfortunately.
Errers and Varietys.

I had to grab that from the full set pic of the reverse side. Best I could do. Sorry.
It seems a bit straight but I think its a middle of the left wheat ear with the E from E Pluribus that crosses the real left wheat ear. Of course I could be totally wrong too.
I blew up the image if it helps at all.

It's a piece of a shell casing of course.  Doesn't look like a clash to me. |

See why I was interested in it? I would have broken it out of the set if I needed to to get a good look at it.

I have learned the hard way not to read too much into the appearance of coins in plastic cases.

and No I highly doubt that 2 reverse dies can clash together, as they would not both be placed into the same coining press. - If they did we would have tons of double reverse coin floating around.

This is when clashing occurs on the opposing die, like a normal clash, then the clashed die comes in contact with the original die that created the first clash, creating a clash of the same side. I was going to provide a link but Maddieclashes will not come up right now. Here is a link from Error Ref that explains it though. LINK https://www.error-ref.com/counterclash-type-ii/ As for what is going on with the coin in question though, I have no idea. Cannot really tell with the sellers pic. -makecents-

Seeker, can you post a full picture of the reverse side of that case? I would like to see if it has cracks like the front.
