1996 P Radical Misaligned Die Clash (MDC-1c-1996-02) https://www.maddieclashes.com/mdc-1c-1996-02/Had to calm my nerves after Tuesday, so I searched some rolls I got months ago. I stumbled upon this little gem in really nice shape. I'm even going to call it MS Red! (It's a Radical Misaligned Die clash.) I see varieties like this so infrequently it took me a couple of minutes to remember which site and which category it was in. (Radical, floating, Atypical Clash, etc.) The curving arc and the ER of AMERICA are discernable near the second 9 of the date. What are your thoughts about which letters they might be, from my images or the link? Both letters look curved to me which is why I'm wondering what others see.     Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Nice example! Some of these clashes are so faint it is very hard to determine how much of the design is transferred. It does look like the top of the "R" in America was transferred. However, plating is an issue with some1980's and 1990's cents that adds texture to the surface and makes it more difficult to pick out subtle clashes.

Very cool find P55! It looks like the letters ER from what maddieclashes says. I kinda see ED from UNITED from what I see on the listing. It's harder to see on your example though.

Very cool find and good eye to catch it! I always keep an eye open for these but most of the coins I search are from bank rolls and not usually in the condition of yours.  -makecents-

Thanks everyone for the comments. these radical die clashes aren't seen very often. (This is my first.) The curve was obvious at first glance and plating blister crossed my mind but it was too uniform and symmetrical. What sealed it for me was seeing the letters. I had someone that found a couple of these when they first started getting listed tell me the letters were confirmed by the use of an overlay multiple times. Here is an image where I've added circles around two areas of the clash that had me thinking the letters were curved.  Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

I'm confused why you are describing this as a misaligned die versus a clashed die.  I see no misalignment at all. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Somehow I missed putting "Clash" after Misaligned in the title and body. The title and body should read- "1996 P Radical Misaligned Die Clash(MDC-1c-1996-02)" Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Thanks Bobby. (I gotta admit though, for a minute, I thought I was in trouble when I saw Bobby had replied.  I forgot about requesting the edits by a mod.  ) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
