    Meow has made a few find CRH.
    A 1999p Connecticut with very harsh die polish lines behind the branches of the tree.
    A 2017p Ozark Riverways with the typical DD in the window.
    And a 1963 d penny with a clash showing where the three is.

    1963 Cent.. A Die Clash? Of what?
    Do you know what a Die Clash even is?

    The lines in going through the three cast a shadow, just like a die clash form. Meow cant think of what else would leave that curved line that seems to have slight differences in elevation on each side.

    Looking at the date I would say it's old Damage.

    Meow can see a extra brick in the top left. It shows in both photos. Is that not what the DD for this quarter is supposed to look like?

    I think the point about it not being a die clash is important. Usually when @paddyman98 responds in the way he did here, there is something for me to learn.

    My early morning reading on die clash today reminds me of the definition:
    "when opposing dies collide with each other when a planchet fails to be fed into the striking chamber." (emphasis added) http://www.error-ref.com/die_clash/

    If a coin evidencing a die clash must show some of what normally appears on one side of the coin on the 'wrong' side, then by definition it can not be the effect of a die clash we see on your coin. If your coin did suffer a die clash then we should see some part of the memorial or the reverse legend on the obverse and not another "6" on the obverse where the date (which contains a 6) should and does appear.

    I hope that is not clear as mud.

    Meow thought it might be the letters on the other side showing.

    I don't know why, but I see a cat staring back at me.
    I think a cat got stuck in the minting press.

    Perhaps more pictures at greater magnification?

    I knew that. The first thing I thought was oh no, the more we magnify a coin the more errors we think we see. :)
