1973D clash?

[Dearing]

Is this a die clash behind columns 2 & 3 and coming up towards the roof?

That's a good question Dearing and I can see why you would think it might be a die clash. But the raised area in column 2 and above the Memorial is not typically where the clash is seen. I do see something there but it's hard to tell for sure without close up pics. Please give this one an acetone bath and get some closer pics with your new scope!

Here's a link to maddieclashes denominational overlays and it's the 5th one down http://www.maddieclashes.com/one-cent-overlays/

I think this one gets everyone the first time they see it and there were some ideas on what it was but nothing solid. This is a somewhat common occurance on the 73D for some reason and I think maybe the general consensus was that it could have been a damaged working hub. I posted one and I think Sheila did too. I'll do some digging around to see if I can find the posts. I might have even saved my find. If you look on the obverse just behind (west)of Abe's shoulder in the field, there is a raised area that looks like heavy abrasions to go along with what you're seeing on the reverse.


Found a couple of links, an older one that Ed led me to (Thanks Ed!!) (http://www.lincolncentforum.com/foru...highlight=1973)

Thank you Jon for your research and information! John (stoneman227)'s study linking this to Recurring Die Subsidence Errors looks spot on! Mike Diamond's article shows this anomaly on a 1973D Lincoln cent and he explains that the defect is always found on the left side of the Memorial between columns 1-3, that the outline and height is slightly different from die to die but the location is quite consistent. Mike mentions at least 8 dies being represented and John identified 14 different dies in his study.

Yeah... there's so much great information on this forum from members who have been doing this a lot longer than myself and many others of us! It's great to go back and read these threads! I've always wondered if you added up all the years' experience and knowledge our mentors here have... how big would that number be... several hundreds, maybe more than that!
