<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cremebrule, post: 1749356, member: 35227&quot;]Notice the inverted wording that&#039;s depressed into the coin on the obverse below the Indian&#039;s chin? And the faint &quot;spike&quot; in front of his chin as well? And how on the reverse there&#039;s a triangular depression where E PLURIBUS UNUM is? These are evidences of a die clash, where the obverse and reverse dies strike together without a coin in the press, leaving a faint imprint of their respective designs into the other die. When the dies begin to strike coins again (such as the one posted), each side will have a faint imprint of the reverse design. So the wording under Indian&#039;s chin is really the E PLURIBUS UNUM of the reverse, and the triangular depression on the reverse is probably part of Indian&#039;s chin, or lower part of the bust.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>EDITED to add: They&#039;re cool to find, though usually not worth any premium since they are relatively common, depending on the series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
