    I thought this might be the result of a die clash, But wasn't sure. I tried making a overlay. The rotation seems to be off a bit. Any thoughts are appreciated. Also Some of the pics aren't the best. Still learning on how to take pics of shiny coins! imageonline-co-overlayed-image.png DSC02195.JPG DSC02200.JPG DSC02202.JPG DSC02205.JPG DSC02209.JPG DSC02211.JPG DSC02212.JPG

    The first arrow looks to be a Die Crack. Nice overlay!

    You did well on the overlay, very cool! I believe they are all die cracks.
    I see some evidence of die deterioration, and not seeing the evidence of a clash.

    I don't see any indication of a clash but see the die cracks, which are minor and NAV, IMO.

    I see lots of die cracks.

    I agree with the obverse, But the reverse (to me) isn't die cracks. I will also reiterate that the pics don't really show what I'm seeing on the coin.

    Distortion on the fields is common on a late die state strike, it is from indirect die transfer. IDT will also cause die cracks in the stressed areas. They sometimes can abrade the die to help die life, remove the light die cracks. We would see the evidence. A clash with out the abrasion will show a much stronger image and not smooth surface like seen in your photos. Even abraded dies will still show the reverse image.

    this coin does seem to show some evidence of a light die clash or some of it may have been ground and polished off the die. This is the areas that die clashes on the dollar coins appear. I know this because I have quite a few of the really strong clashed die dollar coins.
