Ran across this in the safe this past weekend. Don't they call this one the Jail House
or something like that. Clashed memorial on the obverse and clashed
Lincoln's head on the bottom of the reverse.

Edit to add: If you look close behind Lincoln's head you can see two distinct lines.
I looked over it again and there are two distinct die clashes on the obverse.
edge of building behind Lincoln's head and two sets of clashed columns across the obverse.
One reaches into the neck of Lincoln.
Must have been a couple of hard strikes with no coin in the chamber before this one was struck
Edit 2: I took it out of the old 2x2 and took some more shots of it .

That is sweet! The only one I have like that, they polished the cell bars away so that Lincoln could escape!

Those are some excellent close-ups, by the way.

Double die clash - very nice. These don't come along very often.
Rest in Peace
