2011 D cent die clash?

Do you think this is a die clash? Look above the shield.

You have to zoom in really close to see it. It is above the UR of PLURIBUS in the field. I have 2 other identical cents (same date).

 

It is more evident in this photo.

 

closer danielson..can you zoom on the clash?
It would not get assigned a die clash error by grading companies.
I think it would have to be bigger and more dramatic looking.
Heres a nice Jefferson dollar die clash from 1 I have.

 

check out the extra spike with the die clash

 

Talking about extra spikes check this one out.

I have not seen one like that before, but does it really worth that much ?

 

I hope those clashed die dollars are worth something because I have quite a few of them. I have one identical group from a set of dies that were severly clashed on both dies.
on the obverse of the coins a large part of Miss Liberty's crown can be seen and parts of the president is is visible on the side where Miss Liberty is.
I sold one on Ebay about a year ago and it only brought around 15.00 so I will not be selling any more of them for a while.

 

Interesting.. will have to start looking at both the cents and the dollar coins.. though I've not seen any "D" cent coins here for 2011 yet...

 

I don't think it's a clash. That mark would be at about the shoulder on the bust and there aren't any features that would match up.

 

Just because someone lists a coin at a certain price doesn't mean it's worth that much. $15.00 is probably a much closer value on those.

 

Actually, since US Coin’s obverse/reverse are rotated 180 degrees, it would be the bottom point of the bust in that area - but, that doesn’t appear to line up either.

 

I wasn't expecting to see this thread again. If it is not a clash what do you think it is? I think it has to be a die error because I have more like it.

 

If you are talking about the sunken in place then it is probably from a die that has a chip starting to come loose from the die.
when a die chip first starts to break loose from a coin die it will be swelled out a little around the loose area and make sunken in
areas on the coins the die strikes. eventually the loose die chips fall out of the die and this makes a shallow place on the die
and when the die strikes more coins this die chip area will make raised out blobs of metal on the coins.


or it is possible that some foreign object had become stuck onto the surface of the die and kept making these depressions. I have
a lot of state quarters from the same die that has a couple of raised die chips on them and in another area they have a sunken in area that perfectly matches
one of the die chip areas. I'm almost sure that when one of the chips fell out of the die it got stuck onto the die and kept making the sunken in areas.I had photos
of one of these coins on another thread on here a while back , some of you may remember seeing it.

 

How many strikes do you think that the die chip would be there before it fell off?

 

I'm not sure about that , it could be up into the hundreds or maybe even thousands.
If someone finds a coin they like in a roll of new coins from the mint there will usually be more of the coins in that new roll from the same die. also like I said earlier a foreign object can become stuck onto the surface of a coin die
and make sunken in impressions called a strike thru. usually if the sunken in area is from a loose die chip it will show a tiny die crack around the sunken in area on the coins.

 

I think that it is a strike-through, it just looks that way. I found them in new rolls from Loomis. 2 were in the same roll.
