<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 345214, member: 66&quot;]I&#039;d say it is a die clash, the only question is what has the die clashed with?&nbsp; So far everyone here has been assuming that it clashed with the reverse of a FE cent, but this is an 1857 and there was someone fooling around at the mint that year making various muled die combinations.&nbsp; We know about these because sometimes the dies clashed (none of the muled fantasies are known to exist.)&nbsp; The 1857 FE cent is known to come clashed with seated Liberty quarters, half dollars and double eagles.&nbsp; There is no reason to think that he didn&#039;t mule the dies with other coins as well.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see anything on the reverse of the FE cent that could account for the clashmarks I see on the obverse[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
