<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Elendis, post: 4843361, member: 113665&quot;]I found this coin before I began looking for mint errors and kept it because of its great luster, but didn&#039;t care to share it because it looked damaged. I recently reexamined it and found that the some of the damage looked to be consistent with die clashing.[ATTACH=full]1169522[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1169523[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Note the die chip at 11:30 above the second T in states on the reverse:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1169558[/ATTACH]</p><p>Closeup of die chip - maybe a struck through fragment or dropped filling?[ATTACH=full]1169559[/ATTACH] </p><p>&nbsp;Here you can see a clash mark going through the 1 in the date, doubling and a chip on the first 9 in the date, a crack, clash, or rpm below the D, and missing detail on Lincoln&#039;s vest which clashed onto the reverse: [ATTACH=full]1169564[/ATTACH]</p><p>Damage on E in IGWT - PMD?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1169586[/ATTACH]</p><p>More clash marks on obverse, complimentary loss of detail and clashing on reverse. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1169594[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t been able to match this conclusively to an RPM or clash mark listing. It looks like an early state of WRPM-001, but the die stage markers don&#039;t list the die clashing or the die chips on my coin. Looking at the pictures hosted at PCGS for WRPM-001 (FS-501), the polishing marks and die wear seem to match to where the clashes on my coin are.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think this cent is clashed, and is this a novel variety or stage?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
