The clash can be seen clearly on the obverse but on the reverse it is barely visable. This is the first die clash I've found, is it usual for the obverse to be usually clearer than the reverse? Hopefully you can resize the pic now
There are more clear fields on the obverse, also, the Lincoln Memorial has those parallel lines that show up well. Although, a light die clash is fairly easy to fake with a hammer job, so make sure the lines are not indented. A genuine die clash affects mainly the fields also. Your obverse picture zooms in, but the reverse picture is pretty small, so I can't see much.
corrected photo for some reason I cannot resize this photo. Maybe if you use the zoom feature on your puter. Have patience I'll get the hang of all this soon...lol. Until then thanks for your time
Most of the clashes I seen have them ether on obv or rev.but I have seen a 1982 LDC with on both sides
Die clash marks might be on both sides or they might be on only one side. If two dies come together during a die clash, one die might be damaged beyond use or it might be pulled out and replaced so that the die that is most damaged can be re-polished for later use. It is not at all unusual to find stronger clash marks on one side of the coin and weaker or no clash marks on the other. Thanks, Bill
I agree with Bill! But the only one I seen graded by a TPG in this case it was an 1982 LDC grade by Anacs & Detail had Obv & Rev Clash the # I can not recall.:kewl:
