How 'bout nothing from the pics?

 

How about taking a closer look?

 

Yes Bonnie I'm afraid so, if you are talking QE II neck line and forehead. That's know as double profile but it carries no value other than making the Queen look two face. This is very common I find it on US Bust Halfs,and Jefferson nickels. Keep searching you ll hit paid dirt sooner or later.Paddy

 

Here you go Bonnie a few examples of what you're seeing . The First a Jefferson Nickel the Dome on the Rev. has a double profile. Second an 1874 US three cent Pc. the back side of the head double profile as well look at the lettering MD.

 

Here's another example. see the flat edge on letters Liberty's crown outlined in red.

 

compare my double profile to yours

 

I will have to look at my small Canadian cent hoard for this one. Just to see.

 

I noticed that right away. Awesome coin!

 

The forehead shows MD

 

Look at the neck too Frank

 

It's either md or die fatigue. Notice it's at a lower level than the original design. 99% of the time a dead giveaway.

 

I think the doubling on the Canadian cent is MD.
But I suspect the outlines around the "OF" pictured above is another cause...since they don't show an offset but encircle the two letters. It might be die deterioration or "shoulders" of the punch transferred to the die. To my eyes, the irregularity suggests wear, and you can see a die chip off the top stroke of the "F"

 

Here ya go Bonnie this is what a nice clash looks like. as per your request.

 

unbelievable, I can't imagine you see this right away

 

So you like? I'm not sure liberty is impressed with my drawing looks as if she needs a nose job and a wart removed.

 

I think you did just fine...LOL
How do I set my eye to find a die clash

 

You need to vision the opposite side of the coin or use an over lay .

 

I saw
I thought


I agreed,

With myself
