<p>[QUOTE="jhinton, post: 1609288, member: 24410"]It is what you say it is. I would take it to Rick Snow. If you have time, I would also like to see it in person, I will be at table 232. Breen does not mention it in his book nor does Kevin Flynn mention it in his Two Cent book. BUT.... Rick Snow does mention it in his book... He has a picture of the same clash as you and says "An 1864 Large Motto Two Cent piece is know with light clash marks on the reverse from the obverse of an Indian cent. The corresponding cent with a clash from a two cent piece is not know."</p><p><br /></p><p>These clashes occurred when the dies were being changed out. The operator would cycle the press to seat the dies (that's the theory anyway). It could very well be that the Indian head die was so worn and or damaged that it was never put back into use, hence why we have the clashed two cent piece and not the clashed Indian head cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
