<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhoggman, post: 423923, member: 13987&quot;]Looked at the VAMs for 1885 and could not come up with a match for the one I just received. This coin is unattributed NGC MS64 in an old holder. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse has a very obvious impression (outline) of Liberty&#039;s head.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lines are visible between the wreath and the Eagles wings on both sides. The line on the Eagles left side shows up as a V shape near the top of the wreath and to the left. On the Eagle&#039;s right side you can see the line that would be Liberty&#039;s forehead to upper nose. The line then disappears into the wreath, and then reappears to form the underneath of the nose, and the upper lip. You can also make out the crease that would be be between the upper and lower lip. The line that would be the chin is faint but visible between the top of the wreath and the Eagle&#039;s right wing. On the opposite side of the wing where the inner and outer feathers meet extending into the field you can see the neck line. I should also mention the the front of the eye is clashed into the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are looking at the reverse right side up this is not so obvious to the naked eye; however if you turn the coin so that the eagle is upside down this die clash is very obvious.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only photos I have are DLRC scans and very hard to make all of this out with the scans. If you cannot make it out I&#039;m sorry you will have to trust me that I am not making this up. I looked at the photo, and you can make out most of what I describe, but it is hard to see without looking at the actual coin first. I can see everything except the chin outline, and the neck outline. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is this so common a die clash that it is not listed or have I found something unique?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
