    1917-P Mercury Dime w/ Obv&Rev Leaved Clashed Die Variety

    On the obverse, the clash has formed beautiful outlines of small clusters of leaves around the head. The leaves are very visible to the naked eye, and are to be found at the forehead, at the bridge of the nose, dangling from the nostril, under the chin, and at the back of the neck.

    On the reverse there appears to be a clash as well from the leaves down to e-pluribus unum

    Any comments, suggestions or feedback welcome.

    not the 1994 but a 1917-P


    I got this one on ebay was just too cool a coin to pass on..

    It seamed very extremely strong clash compared to the other clashes I have from the Mercury Dime series.

    I seen a similar 1917-p here if not the same exact coin in a old thread here and I finally found one... :):):)

    I am not sure if it a typical or a typical or misaligned yet.

    I will take better pictures when I have coin in hand...

    I have seen a lot of lower grade Mercury dime graded. I would mainly because of date and clash. I have not seen one in this high of grade.

    Here is a neat one I bought. I thought it was off of the same die pair as the OP coin but then I realized that mine is a D.
