I don't see any clashes on obverse but maybe a keener eye than mine will spot something. Thanks in advance for looking, and enjoy. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 04/09/2026 8:28 pm The lines are too straight to be cracks, besides, you can see the remnants of an incuse scratch on the bottom right of the letter N. Edited by JimmyD 04/09/2026 8:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73559 Posts	Posted 04/09/2026 8:46 pm I agree. They're scratches that smoothed over over time from circulation wear. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
