<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 111069, member: 1859&quot;]Perhaps a clash mark?&nbsp; That would depend if there&#039;s a straight edge in the obverse design that corresponds in size, shape, and position to the defect on the reverse.&nbsp; It could also be a shallow die dent that coincidentally matches the shape of the leg.&nbsp; Or it could be a counterclash error.&nbsp; This occurs when a die strikes a piece of scrap metal, and the metal is struck again, transferring the design back to the die face.&nbsp; Subsequent coins show the results of that impact in the form of raised, normally-oriented, oddly positioned extra design elements.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
