CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 07/14/2011 11:57 pm Just found this really strong die clash today while finishing off a nice box of nickels. I didn't notice the weakness in "UNUM" until I was taking pictures, so I took a closer look at the obverse. I think there's also a thin Cud along the edge in the date area, and corner of the bust. It's hard to be sure because the coin is pretty beat up from circulation. That would also be the cause of the significant weakness in the lower part of the hair? Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 07/15/2011 09:46 am Looks like a die clash and a vertically misaligned die. Notice how both the stike and the clash are weak on one side. Report this Post to the Staff

I couldn't measure a significant difference within my ability to get consistent measurements with my calipers. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/16/2011 11:46 am If it were a Cud that area on the rim would be thicker. I'm thinking a struck through on both sides on your coin. There is a clash on the reverse on the die. I would hang onto this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 07/16/2011 12:18 pm Oh yeah, it's definitely in my keeper pile. It's the best looking clash I've found; it's so clearly Jefferson's profile on the reverse, and it looks very cool in-hand. It's the kind of error that doesn't require tons of explanation for somebody who doesn't know coins to see what's wrong with it. Report this Post to the Staff
