Okay, let Mr. Know-It-All explain to you how the line of a clash can occur, then an offset clash occur parallel to the first clash and leave the...
Yes, I know what an offset clash is. Are you familiar with the 1882-CC VAM3-C. I'm sure that Dave is. Have you ever seen the same clash raise the...
Alan, it may be because @Sheila Ruley is a pretty good politician. Chris

Let's assume that the die did rotate before a second clash. If that were the case, then it shouldn't be parallel to the first clash. Wouldn't you...
@TJ1952 I'm not sure what may have caused this although a "plating bubble" as suggested by @furryfrog02 is not too far out of the question....
@Sheila Ruley I don't think that is a clash. In that general area, it would have to be Lincoln's (sloping) back, but it would be represented by a...
@Conder101 can tell you more about this early ANACS certificate. I noticed that the address is Colorado Springs. Didn't ANACS begin its early...

Usually, the simplest answer is the best! Chris
I've decided to stay out of this conversation. Chris
If it was two planchets in the coining chamber at the same time, the force of the strike would probably fuse them together. I remember Charmy...

You should buy yourself a Red Book if you don't have one. Weight, composition and mintage are just a few of the things that are noted for every...
I've got a feeling that someone was playing with some acid. Chris
You have to remember that the mintmark was punched into the die by hand in that year, so the depth of the strike could affect the thickness. Chris
Geez, Eric, you really know how to make us old farts feel good. I'm 68! Chris:(:woot:;)
Here's an interesting strikethrough that came out of a Mint bag. I'm not sure if it was a piece of wire, cord or something similar that caused it....
