WOW!!! thats great

 

its referred to as a "prisoner cent" it is a very nice clashed die.great find,I think they are very cool.

 

It doesn't look like a clashed die. If it was, wouldn't the Memorial be centered?

Here is the reverse with a clashed "Y". Compare the position of this to the position of the "Y" on yours.

Also, the columns don't appear to be recessed into the fields, and they should be.

On further examination, you don't have LIBERTY in the one photo aligned with the date in the other photo. If you had these properly aligned, the alignment of both portions of the Memorial would be out of sync.

It would be better if we were to see one photo showing the complete coin.

Here is an example,I have owned these,they are neat coins.

Thats a nice one. $17.49 for a prisoner cent? People are looney...

 

i think I can see the Y in liberty on the back of my coin also. It's definitely a clash. No other explanation for it and the images are right.

 

Jason-
Do you have an image of the entire obverse that's not a collage?

 

Nice find for sure!! Congrats

 

I can try to take a full image. My camera is a coin microscope and it's hard to take a wide shot.

 

Nice one Jason. Check the reverse to see if it's slightly rotated. You may have a minor rotated die die clash!

 

jallen, Great call! It is rotated. About 20 degrees or so. That's very cool. I wondered why the reverse image was slanted.

 

Nice. That gives it a unique touch.

 

Very nice find!!!!

 

Nice clash marks!!
