Can there be such a thing as a double die clash? I have an 1983 P LMC with what looks like two clashes between column 3 and 4.
This is an atypical die clash well; a dual event die clash meaning the dies clashed more than once. If you look closely on the obverse, you will see some light definition of the pillars on each side of Lincoln, the dies have been abraded, still a neat find.
Both of the "clash" lines are only in the field. Neither one of them crossed over the columns. They do show on both sides of the column. Would this make a difference in evaluation?
I would think that plating blisters would go over the columns. These stop at the column and continue on the other side.
Someone please correct me if I am mistaken as I don’t pay any attention to how post 1982 cents are made. But I believe the copper coating is applied after the planchets are punched and before striking a design on them.
I believe this could be described as a Repeated Die Clash or a Multi Die Clash. This may help it being confused with any type of doubling. I would consider it a "Typical Die Clash", and not an "Atypical Die Clash" which is a clash that show on the design as apposed to showing clash marks in/on the field.
It looks to me to be clash rather than blisters. Blisters would have been crushed with impact of the striking by the die.
It could be a clash on what appears to be a double clash. I just can’t see it well enough. It looks like blisters to me and that’s why I said what I did.
