Are you asking for opinions or just showing your coin? Or are you asking for a possible grade of discussion about the clash? Regardless, it is a nice coin.
"Bit of clash"!!! That's an understatement. Textbook case of the results of clashed dies. I suspect it was struck after the clash (of course), but before they did anything about it like polishing/lapping the dies. Very nice coin.
Yep ! Which kinda shows why so many people find clashes interesting. The Sherlock Holmes textbook-writing types can learn a lot from studying die clashes. Emission sequence, mint practices....
I actually never noticed this until I took the images. This seems to happen a lot to me while playing with the camera. Everyone feel free to post clash die coins if you wish.
Great Coin! Thanks for posting. Love the coin! Pictures are excellent. Very nice coin. Here is a 1862 that I found on E-Bay It has alot going on as well. Its the first of its kind in my collection. Thanks for letting us share. I'll admit I dont know much about them. The above two are photos with no editing by me, This one I laid the obv. over the rev. but flipped it and turned it. I find them truly amazing. Its almost a portal into the past when the coin was being minted.
I used Adobe Elements 9 I created a copy overlay layer of the obverse, Made the opacity 45% Flipped it upside down then left over right. Darkened it Draged then dragged it over the reverse to see if it matched up. Adobe is excellent if you willing to take some time and watch the lessons they have. You can download a free trial for 60 days. Or go on You Tube like two of my friends and change the hosts file Just search for free elements 9 in youtube. They got theirs for free. I think its Die Varitey News that always refeers to this process to check double dies and var. If you need any help doing it let me know I'll make a video for ya. Its a great tool to have. I was amazed when I draged it over the reverse it matched perfectly as you can see. www.youtube.com/freeelements9 www.adobe.com/freetrialelements9
