It's kind of hard to tell anything from the 2nd & 3rd photos. In the 1st photo, the mark looks like it might be raised. If it is, it wouldn't be a clash, but it could be a die gouge. The mark in the 4th photo looks like post-Mint damage.

Chris

 

could you please explain for us why you say that if something on a coin is raised it wouldn't be a die clash?

 

When dies clash, it is (usually) the fields, the highest points on the dies, that come into contact. The silhouette, or perimeter, of the device is impressed into the opposing field causing the device to be slightly raised. When the next coin(s) are struck the raised device is impressed into the planchet.

Chris

 

Chris you need to learn that a clashed die design can be either raised or incuse. I have tolk folks on this forum this numerous times. It all depends on which part of the dies that clash together and whether the design of the clashed area of the die was raised or incuse. in other words some clash marks are in relief while others are incuse. The very best error coins I own are a very few of the rare clashed die 2005 bison 5 cent coins that are nicknamed the peeing bison coins. every bit of this is raised on the coin and looks to have been intentionally done but it is a die clash.

 

Only in rare and extreme cases can a clash be raised, but in 99.99999999999999999% of the cases, it is not. But, of course, I expected this to come from you and that is why I even bothered to give you my answer.

People, please be aware that rascal lives in a world of errors that is devoid of the mundane, everyday varieties that most of us find. So, rascal, let's discuss the OP's Bicentennial Quarter, and leave your rare examples out of the discussion.

sorry but I have to totally disagree with you and anyone that knows a little bit about error coins knows what I wrote is true whether you like it or not , this is just the way it is.go ahead and say what you want to about me , it only makes you look bad and not me. if you don't want to hear the truth then I can do nothing about that.

 

Hi,

Metal raised near flame (maybe clash with Washington neck) and head drummer. Under washington mouth, metal raised too. There is a small clash shape on back Washington hair (maybe clash with drummer hair).

Rascal, you're so full of yourself that your eyes are brown. You should write a book just so everyone can buy it, then demand their money back.

Chris

PS. By the way, which variety service attributed your 2005 nickel? It's not on CONECA, and it's not in the CPG. My oh my, it seems that the numismatic world just can't keep up with you. You must be awfully busy trying to teach people who don't know anything.

 

you are wrong again as usual , my eyes are green the same color as money. this is why I see thing that you don't LOL . oops you forgot to check on maddieclash.com this is where the best die clash coins can be seen. I also have some coins that was made by the same die pair after the clash marks were polished off and have been confirmed , imagine that ..... I do work very hard at trying to teach folks a few things but it's hard to lead a blind horse to water.I do know that a few folks on here do try to learn expessially me.

 

maddieclash? And, what TPG recognizes them?

You can't even get your adages correct. Any fool can lead a blind horse to water. Getting it to drink is another story.

Obviously, my comment about brown eyes went right over your head.

Chris

 

the brown eye part was ignored by me. If I said something that bad on here I would probably be permantely banned. now you don't even get a warning . when someone get's a warning it is always me being the guilty party. that's just life I suppose.

 

It would probably be because most people are fed up with your know-it-all attitude and how you put people down when they don't agree with you.

You still didn't answer the question. Which major TPG recognizes maddieclash?

Chris

 

You are being placed on my ignore list . this is my last reply to any of your posts. there is no use for you and me to try to discuss anything.

 

That figures! Still no answer. It's probably not a clash at all. Just a few die gouges, and the blind horses at maddieclash can't tell the difference.

Chris

 

My opinion is that it looks like a possible clash. Nice Bic. Quarter overall!

 

Hi,

Maybe it is clash... maybe not but it is an interesting coin.

Just add summary picture :



Thank you ALL!

have you had this coin looked at? don't let people get you down saying it isn't "worth much" if that is all people think about then they are collecting for the wrong reasons. I have that quarter and was told it was a grease error, looks just like mine but without the post damage. I think it is a awesome coin.
