1983 penny die clash?

In the second column to the right (your left), is that a Y or not?

Now how did you notice that

Looks like it!... here's a tip, go to Google and search the term "lincoln memorial cent overlay" or "jefferson nickel overlay" or whatever coin and you can find pics of transposed coins to help find where a clash occurs on the opposite side

 

Chris showed me how to look for them. Thanks for the info. Some of the names of the terms I'm have not learned yet. It makes it hard for me to Google some of them.

 

yes it is.. http://www.maddieclashes.com/one-cent-overlays/

 

An overlay is just a see through pic transposed over another see through pic of the opposite side. Go check them out. They help greatly to identify what you think may be a die clash. Finding a clashed Y in a Lincoln memorial bay speaks to how serious you are about the hobby. I suggest buying a Red Book and or The Cherrypickes Guidebook if you can. They will help you greatly and can be had for around $20-30 ea. And no matter how stupid you think a question is ASK IT. The only stupid question around here is the one never asked

 

thank you. I do have the 2016 red book, but I need a cherrypickers book.

 

If a question is never asked, then how can it be a question?

The correct adage is, "There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers."

FWIW, the CPG comes in 2 volumes. I'm told that the latest edition of Volume I was just released, but from past experience, there is no telling how long it will be before Volume II is released.

Ok, thanks.

 

It's a question the second it's thought of, no? Weather it is asked or not is irrelevant as to if it was a question or not correct? I can see your point though. Its all semantics I guess

 

I'm thinking of a question. Can you tell me what it is?

Chris

 

Don't do that chris. Now I have to go change my coffee soaked shirt

 

Keep a lid on it!

Where you see a Y I only see a crack---and a rather large crack in the steps and a somewhat smaller crack below the steps. I do wonder why I cannot see that large crack in the whole view of the Rev. If it were a die crack it should appear raised.

 

It does not appear to be raised. It appears to be flat.

 

Perhaps someone who is more informed could say what it is. Or, can you make another magnified shot to see if the big mark is still there. (The lack of confirmation in the Rev bothers me.)

 

I will try.

 

see post # 4

 

I see a y and it looks flat when I zoom in to it, are there any other clashes that you can see?

 

Why are you guys questioning this? What else could it be; a stain in the exact shape and location of a clash? Or an intentional light tap with a punch of the correct size in the precise area? I think the shadow is just an optical illustration. Incuse can look raised and raised can appear incuse etc
