snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1251 Posts	Posted 09/05/2025 9:09 pm Just found this 1989 LMC with die clash showing between 4th and 5th columns. Anything else which may have been there, has been very roughly polished (sanded!) out. Report this Post to the Staff

That's kinda why I shared it - seemed like overkill with some 60 grit. Thought it sort of humorous how rough it is! Edited by snailking1 09/05/2025 9:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8742 Posts	Posted 09/05/2025 10:44 pm Cool find! I have always liked the extreme abraded dies, it always makes me wonder how extreme the clash was. Quote: but what is that blocky thing you are pointing at, I see no correlation to the obverse side design elements. I would say it's a rotated die clash of this area. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1251 Posts	Posted 09/05/2025 11:00 pm You beat me to it, -makecents-, thank you The clash on the coin is not actually a square block like it appears in my pic.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8742 Posts	Posted 09/05/2025 11:14 pm The pic I put up is perfectly correlated, it's from Mad Die Clashes overylays, that's why I said rotated, but you are welcome. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
