    Error Die Clash/Break | Very nice unlisted 1916 Tilted die clash !

    An Ebay pick.
    I have a few listed Wheat Tilted die clashes and am always watching for the other known examples as there are only a handful of them. This one is unlisted and shows the base of the obverse bust clashed into Pluribus on the reverse and at least part of the I of Pluribus clashed into the base of the obverse bust ( The arrow points to this in the last pic).
    It does have a few dings on the obverse but I can live with them as it really is an attractive coin .

            Excellent pick for the clash and the coin... With the amount of dings I would not have expected to see so much detail remaining on the high spots... That had to be sitting in some ones drawer for 101 years... Looks like the top of R is also just east of the I... A slight change in light direction may make it pop out... Excellent photographs!!!
