1948 S Dime some kind of clash?

To be some kind of clash, it must represent some or all of one of the devices from the other side of the coin. I don't see it. ~ Chris

 

Post a full picture of the obverse and reverse. It looks like it may be a die crack.

 

Not always.

Counter clash

 

Thank you. Obviously not die cracks.

 

To me it's a worn silver dime.

 

interesting never heard of it... checking that out know..

 

Please explain. I guess I’m just missing it. Thanks.

 

A piece of medal gets into the coining chamber, other than from the host coin.
The pair dies of working meet and the piece of medal clashes the two dies with its design transfer to the dies.

 

A counter clash is when the dies clash then clash again , this can make a coin look almost like a doubled die . This dime looks like it may have had something dry up on it and left some residue. It is hard to tell for sure from the pics.

 

A clash and a counterclash are two different things. You didn't mention counterclash in your first post. Regardless, I don't see either. ~ Chris
