I recently bought some Roosies, and the 1986P has die Clash evidence on both sides.
I can't see that this has been discussed here previously, but if it has, maybe someone else can point me to it.
I know you folks are going to ask for pictures, but seriously, I can't produce any sort of image that's worth posting, so here's my attempt at a description.
Obv, Very clear imprint of part of the flame in the spot where R's chin meets his neck & it goes down to the top of the last T in Trust.
Rev, left of the torch, a line joins the left of the flame to the olive branch leaf, and there's a faint line from another leaf, left of and just above the top bud.
Right of the torch, a diagonal line runs through the two top leaves of the Oak, another line goes from the torch stem to the left oak leaves and another faint line joins the two of the right oak leaves. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Thanks Scooby, your first link to the one with the overlay example is great. I can see exactly which part of the other side has created the clash marks on my coin. Do die clashes attract any additional premium? It's a very nice coin, maybe aUnc or perhaps one grade lower. I love error coins, but due to my location, nearly all that I have are Aussie ones.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

I believe it depends on the severity of the clash. The bigger the clash, the better the premium, but also the grade which you suggest as possibly AU is better than one graded lower. I'm not sure of price ranges on clashes. And, like you said, we would need to see it. The year would probably have something to do with it, too. That same clash on an '82, for example, might be worth a little more.
But, don't quit your day job!

I wouldn't say error coins aren't desirable here, they are. There are some collector's who collect nothing but errors and varieties. I just seems like die clashes are easier to find than other errors, and they have to be dramatic to really get attention. I like them and I keep them, but I wouldn't really expect any buyers to line up for them. But, if I were inclined to sell one like this, I could probably get a few bucks for him: https://goccf.com/t/62398 |
