<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2321212, member: 1892"]This. By the time clashing details can be seen on devices, which are recessed and therefore strongly protected from clashing, one would expect almost complete detail reproduction on the fields, which are the first place the clash affects. Between that and the knowledge that a clash this strong would completely destroy both dies, I think it's safe to assume that it didn't happen at the Mint. The fact that the transferred details are strongest at the highest point of the devices (lowest point on the die) is actually pretty clear proof that it happened postMint. A flipover double strike would obliterate the original strike to a greater extent than we see here.</p><p><br /></p><p>With all that said, it's a pretty darn strong "clash" to be easily accomplished while playing around in your workshop. A negative had to be created, strong and accurate enough to make that second strike clear.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the place where most would stop and move on, since we know it's PMD.
