I've been looking through a roll of 60D small date Lincolns and I found around 40 that have what appears to be a light die clash through STATES on...
What is going on here? Is this plating related or some kind of other damage?
As I further my quest for knowledge past ordinary pocket change, I couldn't help but notice that the half cent is still reasonably affordable up...
If I found something like that I would have whizzed myself! What an incredible find! I have been reading this thread all along and just dying...
That little squigly line coming off the olive branch towards the D in UNITED looks like it could be the remnants of a die clash. Looks like it...
Thanks. Just wanted to be sure, hadn't quite seen it like this yet. Thought it was interesting anyway.
