photogame Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 01/07/2011 10:40 am Hi, I looking for some input on this error (?) . Its a 1942 Norway 5 Ore, german occupation issue. Around the area of the lion on obverse, chest and leg area, is the reversed image of the reverse side of the coin set below the level of the lion. 'Ore and 1942' can be seen incused into the area. I have seen man-made post mint damaged Pressed coins, the reverse image lays on 'top' of the minted image, this one does not? Die crack up in the area of Norge? The reverse side of the coin looks fine with no noticeable errors. looking forward to some more knowledgeable people, thanks in advance. take care Edited by photogame 01/07/2011 11:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

photogame Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 01/10/2011 08:20 am thanks guys for your input, considering I had only seen a few die clashs of only US coins, it did not come to mind that is what I have in a unfamiliar coin. the die crack is huge, it extends all the way to the bottom of the coin, unfortantly you can't see it all in the photo. take care Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/10/2011 1:10 pm The obverse die is really breaking up. While I don't know for sure, I'll guess the obverse is retained by the collar, keeping the die together for this strike. That's a pretty deep clash...does the reverse show signs of it? They probably had to increase strike pressure to strike up these iron planchets, making clashes more severe, and the reverse may have been polished or replaced after the clash--just thinking out loud.
