[Sheila ruley]

Ok. Thank you.

I finished the overlays... Best I can tell there are 2 clash events (Clash1 = red arrows/Clash 2 = lite blue arrows)... The other items (Die Damage = dark blue arrows) looks like the obv die was dropped onto the rev die giving the appearance of a clash??? At first I thought the mark from the bottom of C8 south into the was the outline of Abes face but no matter how I arranged it there was no alignment... The only alignment I had was the top of Abes head... That in turn aligned some of the hair detail with the markings at the NE of ONE??? The alignment of the obv and rev die is so far off that in my opinion there could not be a clash??? On Clash 1 the bay clash on the neck (at an angle) does not show up in B3... The only idea I can come up with for that is the 2nd clash covered up the first??? On Clash 2 just west of C1 is what appears to be the top 1/3rd of the R in LIBERTY and of course the T in B1 and Y in B2... Nice MAD dual obv/rev clash with no abrasions makes this a candidate for inclusion on http://www.maddieclashes.com/ Only 2 atypical clashes listed http://www.maddieclashes.com/atypical-u-s-small-cent/ for 1993P!!!

Very nice work Jim!! I would have never even seen that 3rd possibility, even though you have wrote it off as damage. Cool, Sheila could have a new listing then?

[Sheila ruley]

Thank you so much Jim! That is awesome. You did wonderful on the overlays. I do not have the equipment to do overlays.

Great job on the overlay's Jim! This is a very nice die clash Sheila! I would say to keep it someplace handy so when Jason starts taking submissions again for maddieclashes.com he can take a look at it!

[Sheila ruley]

Thank you Viv. I have it in my book so I know where it is quickly.

[jfines69]

You are very welcome Sheila... This was fun to figure out!!!

[Sheila ruley]

I bet it was! Maybe one day I will get the proper equipment to be able to do these overlays.

It is just the software... If you can find a photo editing software that has a transparency tool you should be able to do overlays with a bit of practice... I use Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10... They don't make it anymore and I have had this since it came out... It even works with Windows 10!!!

Wow! With windows 10! I need a new computer. Mine was given to me by my brother in law, who happens to program computers for businesses. He wiped off all of the basic programs that come on the computer when you purchase a new one. He is shady. So, needless to say, I don’t even have the most basic computer! I guess you can say that I have a part of a computer. LOL! I need a new one before I invest in anything for it.

They do put a lot of junk bloatware on most new computers.
Each version of Windows sort of required double the ram memory of the previous version or it gets slow.
I think XP was better than the later stuff but now some things even most browsers need Windows 7 or above to work.

Hard to imagine the changes in computers.
The original PCs in the 80s, you could buy with no hard drive and only 64-256Kb ram (we're talking Kb thousands now they're Mb millions) and the floppy drives or you could splurge on the XT that had a 10meg hard drive. And you could do quite a bit with those old computers. Even the Apollos made it to the moon with less computing power than one of those old PCs.

What's funny is now there is more data in a typical single photo that you post of a cent than those old computers had for everything. We're really spoiled now, New computers have so much of everything.

Yes sir. You would be correct. I can’t even figure out how to use most of the features on my iPhone 7. Let alone a computer. I was just learning how to use an electric typewriter when they put the computers in our high school. I never got to use the computer. Hell, we didn’t even have a phone in our home most of my life growing up. Maybe for a few months here and there because of finances. When we would tell people that we didn’t have a phone or cable (teachers) when they wanted to call our parents, or otherwise, for personal or school reasons, people would just gasp!!! No Tv!!! No phone!!! How do you survive??!! Uuummm, walk to your friends house, to a pay phone, to the library or wherever!!! Talk face to face!! Or entertain yourself!! I walked everywhere until I was 19!! LOL!! Computers are just as much my enemy as math! But, I still love technology.

A little computer lesson - 1 Mb is one million bits and 1 MB is one million bytes each byte has 8 bits... 1 KB use to be equal to 1024 bytes but these days the computer makers have decided that 1 KB is one thousand bytes... Doing the math (a loss of 24 bytes per KB) that is a lot of storage and memory we no longer get... I started my computer programming with zeros and ones
