1999 P Dollar Die Clash?

I think this is a die clash on the reverse of this dollar look to the left of the wing.

? But If it turns out to be PMD, pm me

 

Are you talking about the huge ding near the rim? If so that is nothing more than PMD. A die clash creates an incused image on the die which in turn creates a raised image on the coin.

 

The image is raised you can compare it to the earth globe on the reverse of the coin.

 

I'll take your word for that. Looks incuse to me.

 

I looked hard but I don't see a clash. I do see a hit near the word UNITED on the reverse and another ding on the obverse on the star nearest the MM. I don't see what mark on the obverse correlates to the globe on the reverse.

 

I believe the clash would be around the neck as shown in the first image. I don't see any signs of the moon there on your image...

 

Hey thanks for the overlay that's cool.I know this coin has a lot of PMD hits on the obverse and reverse but this area on the new photo i think is part of the clash,look at the area to the south and east of her ear.

 

Generally a clash will be evident on the fields which are the lowest portions of the coin (and the highest parts of the die) rather than on the higher portions of the coin (which correspond with the recesses of the die).

Help me out here. Where exactly do you see evidence of a clash on the reverse? You said:

Is the area in question the area that I have circled in your photo? If so, that certainly looks like a big ding to me, not a raised area.

 

It's raised i just ran my fingernail across that area my nail stopped did the same test on the earth symbol same result .That area is not incused but it is like a small cocoon.

 

the image shows the light off the "U" and the corresponding shadow on it's opposite... note your image... it show the shadow first and then the light... looks like a ding. If your certain it is raised, get an angled picture of it showing the raised area, if it is raised, could be interesting.

 

So I take it that the area that I circled in the above photo is the area that you say is raised? Is that correct? ("Yes" or "No" would be appreciated.)

 

yes

 

Thank you.

In multiple photos now looking at the light and shadows that area sure looks like it is incuse to me. You have the coin in hand and say the area is raised and I will have to take your word for that.

 

I'm thinking that a hit came from the direction of the wing, pushing up some of the metal making a slight rise toward the edge of the coin.
