    Error Die Clash/Break | Pretty Cool 1983 Die Clash

    Found this pretty cool die clash today. Not as much on the obverse (but something seems to be going on with the vest under the bow tie). The reverse is almost a full bust outline. Thanks for looking.

    Pretty nice unabraded die clash Rowdy.

    Even seems to be a dual event looking at the left side under the stairs.

      Can you get us a clear closeup of the tie area and a little around it?


      If you can, get east of the chin too, I think you may have a dual clash on the obverse.

        Thanks for looking, Cliff. I noticed that too. It seems one event starts at the bottom of the T and runs through the Memorial. The other starts at the bottom of the E and runs through the Memorial. They seem to run side by side through bays 3 & 4 and under the left side of the steps as you point out.

          Thanks for checking it out, Jon. It has been difficult to get good closeups of the Obv. Maybe these will help. It almost appears to me that there may even be a counter clash on the obv (looking at the back of the head).

            Thanks Rowdy!! Yeah, I always have issues getting good closeups of any coin that has lots of abrasions, the light reflects so badly off of them. I thought you may actually have a floating clash, it looked like a U from UNUM in front of the chin but the new pics show what looks to be one of the bays. I think yours is just a typical die clash with dual clashes on the reverse. Very cool find, congrats!!

              Very nice die clash Rowdy and great job on the pics! The Type 1 Counter Clash we will need some help with. Your post #5, first pic (Upper Obv) is showing a vertical anomaly behind Lincoln's head. Here is a Type 1 Counter Clash similar to that on maddieclashes.com, what do you guys think?

                That is some wild clashing on the coin you referenced! This is the best Die Clash I've found so far.

                  Nice find... That should be an atypical die clash (ADC)... There is at least 2 clashes... They do look abraded as we can see due east of Abes mouth and nose and around the head... I did a quick look but did not see a match but that may be due to the late die stage... The area of the bowtie and vest has been abraded/polish and worn away... Hope that helps a bit... You going to try an overlay???
