1954 Franklin Bugs Bunny If needed!!!

Clash marks are created when there is no planchet in the presses the obverse and reverse dies hit each other, and then have the obverse and reverse images on the die , then when the next planchet is in the presses the incuse images will be on all the coins being minted after that .

an ugly AU 50 to me, with unattractive toning, probably artificial.

 

OK, that makes sense. So, I would assume that if a coin has really bad clash marks...and you could make out the detail, the reverse details would be mirrored because the reverse die imprinted a positive image of the reverse on the obverse die which in turn would create a negative image on the obverse of the coin. Is that correct?

Could you please point out the wear on that coin? I honestly can't see it and if I'm missing it I would like to know.

 

on Franklin's cheek, all over the field of the coin, and all of the high points of the design, therefore it's a nice AU but not an MS by any means.
