-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8728 Posts	Posted 01/11/2025 6:42 pm From the D of UNITED to the F of OF, is just a weak strike due to the bust on the opposing side stealing metal during strike. I do not see any clashing either. I cannot tell with these pics but there is a master trail die that you will see on most 85's on AMERICA. Link below.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73667 Posts	Posted 01/11/2025 8:10 pm Not seeing a Die Clash or Grease. I'm only seeing plating issues, Die Deterioration and a Die Crack, on the reverse. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 01/12/2025 12:16 pm The obverse design elements are to blame for the weak strike of the reverse. The first clue to this is that the very top of the letters on the reverse are struck up normally , and this is because that that area fall into the 'groove' of the obverse (between the rim and the bottom of the Bust of Lincoln).
