    MAD Clash?

    Additional Information
    Date: 2000 P

    So I came across this Lincoln Memorial Cent and noticed the incuse diagonal area in the bay above Lincoln's statue first.
    Next was the area between the building and UNUM, followed by the area below the steps.
    On the obverse there appears to be a horizontal line in relief just above the notch in the lapel and to the left near Lincoln's shoulder.
    I cannot do justice to the clash with my phone images nor can I do an overlay to confirm the exact layout of the Clash.
    I believe the oval area below the steps is Lincoln's earlobe and the diagonal line above the Statue is from the collar of his jacket. I cannot make out what the area beneath UNUM is.
    I cannot do overlays, so I give my permission in advance to anybody that would like to use my images for an overlay.
    I can post more images if needed. Thanks for looking. Cliff

    Not sure what you have there??? Cool looking tho... Can you get some clearer pics??? Those seem to blur out to much for me when I zoom in... I would like them similar to pic 8 above for obv and rev but centered so I can line things up a little better on overlays!!!

    Definitely something going on but cannot make it out either. I love clashes but hate taking pics of them!

    Very interesting. I am very much looking forward to see what happens with some overlays.

    Interesting looking die clash Cliff! I'm also curious what you guys find out! I have a couple similar die clashes put aside that show something similar below the Memorial but not above it. You have a lot more to work with here!

    Here goes with some more images Jim. Not sure they are up to the task.
    Plus I'm not sure where all the images are that I took. Maybe I deleted more than I thought orienting them correctly.
    (This may be one to send in for decent images for an overlays.).

    Yep, still have it.
    I'll drop it in the mail Monday. Thanks.
    (Sorry, that second set was truly embarrassing! )

    S'ok Cliff, don't feel embarrassed! Die clashes are not easy to capture and that is a real shiny 2000! Plus, I betcha the sun is shining where you are today

    Just give Jim a little while to perform his camera magic on this shiny Lincoln and ya'll get this thing figured out!
