<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 556995, member: 11786&quot;]Nice overlay! :thumb:</p><p>As tpsadler notes, the overlay doesn&#039;t predict a die clash in this area. IHC die clashes are common on the obverse, and appear as a &quot;gear&quot; shape around the portrait, as suggested by the overlay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still, I&#039;m <i>intrigued </i>by this coin because multi-denominational clashes have happened with IHCs. There is an 1870 Shield Nickel clash with an IHC obverse, so perhaps it&#039;s possible later. And, under the chin is a <i>classic</i> place for clashes on many coin series...whether possible here or not. </p><p><br /></p><p>Blowing up your image, I&#039;m seeing <i>a few interesting details</i>, and perhaps a second raised area in the field. What I would do is photograph the obverse from several lighting angles and see what else turns up. These pics are good, and might help disprove this mark as a clash--and something else. If other poss. clash marks are found, I&#039;ll suggest you send it to Rick Snow--I think he would be interested. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3454/3397408471_6523d7cd4c_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
