<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jcuve, post: 711057, member: 13945&quot;]I&#039;m sure there is a thread on die-clashes on CT, but I am not sure where. It is the product of the hammer die striking the anvil die without a planchet present resulting in a partial design transfer on either die or both.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>CONECA</b> says:</p><p>&quot;<i>For the wheat cent, look under Lincoln&#039;s chin for an&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; upside down T of CENT on the obverse and between the E of ONE and the N of CENT for&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Lincoln&#039;s tie on the reverse. For the Memorial&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; cent, look for the vertical columns of the memorial building both in front of and behind&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Lincoln&#039;s head, as well as for the horizontal building lines through the 1 of the date.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; (These have recently been promoted as “prisoner” cents because the clash makes&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Lincoln appear as if he were behind bars). On the&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; reverse, look in the first three bays of the building for an incused and upside down RTY&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of LIBERTY. Also, often Lincoln&#039;s head can be seen&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; through the letters of ONE CENT.&nbsp; <a href="http://conecaonline.org/image/1999D1cClashObv.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://conecaonline.org/image/1999D1cClashObv.jpg" rel="nofollow">1999-D 1c with clash marks</a>.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (Coin courtesy of William A.
