    Error Die Clash/Break | Is this a 'mad clash'?

    This 1985P has a strange clash on the reverse. (I could not find any remnants on the obverse.) The clash remnants on the reverse not only look rotated, but they look like they could be multiple. (Too bad so many of them were removed.)
    I tried to mess around with it in Paint.net, but I'm not very good at that program yet until I get more time on there. (COOLEST Program.)
    I could not find anything on maddieclashes for this coin.
    If Jason or someone wants to take an 'in-hand' look, I would be glad to send it in.
    Thanks for looking.

    I think this is a normal-looking clash for bays 7 and 8. They clash may be slightly rotated, but it still looks like Lincoln's outline form the obverse. A MAD die clash, as you know, would show a clash in an atypical area, like if Lincoln's neck line showed up in the field below the memorial building.

    I don't see more than one clash, but you may be able to see hints of others in hand.

    As a side note, I commonly find clashes that are only present on one side of the coin.

      It could be a rotated clash or the die could have made contact with something random. I would have to see it.

          Thanks

          Thank you everyone! I always appreciate any opinions or suggestions! You'd be surprised how many are right!! LOL
          I've been playing with the Paint.net a little bit, and I came up with something close. It still seems as though a multiple clash left a remnant to the east.
          PAINT.NET--best advice I ever got! This seems to be a very powerful tool for overlays and such. It will sure take some practice, but will well be worth it! Best thing is: It's FREE!

            You cant overlay a coin picture with a pic half its size. Nothing will line up
