canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 12:36 am I collect die clashes from the 1940s-1960s avidly. Hanging numbers, moons, halfmoons, hearing aids, boomerangs, harps and guitars, I love them all I've come across some puzzling 1859 die clashes . The only Vicky cent clash I'm familiar with is the 1881H reverse beads one in Charlton, so this is new to me. Comments would be appreciated. 1. "Double hanging 59" - two boomerang like clashes can be seen between the 5 and 9 of 1859, similar to those seen in 1960s pennies. 2. "Hanging 9" - a simple boomerang over the 9, also like those seen in 1960s pennies. The doubled 5 is a bonus 3. "Queen Vic portrait?" - an outline going around the reverse, almost looks like a portrait. 4. "Numerous clashes" - one between 5 and 9, another above E, and a third between O and N in ONE.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 2:27 pm I do recall seeing a red-brown 1859 cent in a PCGS holder with an awesome die clash. I can't remember where though, perhaps on a Heritage Auction page... I think Zonad pointed it out to me a couple of years ago (on another web site).

A very rare and difficult one will be the 'ear canal", between the "E, and N" of cent. It has been seen above the "E", as well. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
