<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3574598, member: 59737"]I gave you a like, because you are correct that [USER=102750]@FoundinTN[/USER] has the orientation correct, IF it were a clash. Now, if you've been around the block long enough, you'll know that [USER=86437]@Fred Weinberg[/USER] is one of THE foremost experts on errors. If he tells you something isn't an error, it's 99.999999% not an error. But I'm willing to entertain your curiosity and show you where the OP went wrong. I did an overlay with an MS67+ coin. Note that a regular clash would've not had an A anywhere near the letter B in LIBERTY. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]952913[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So at best, we are dealing with a rotated die clash. So now we'll assume that it's a rotated die clash. Let's look at what that would look like.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]952912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]952914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]952915[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Look very closely at how this A is shaped in my photos. It's bold, cornered, triangular, sharp. A clash would replicate this on the other coin. Notice how sharp Washington's face is on the Eagle's wing of the quarter I have that's clashed? What we're seeing on the OP's coin is mushy, round, and the gap between the two legs of the A are actually too high for the actual A on DOLLAR. Essentially, the OP thinks that he is seeing an A, but only because he wants to, and because his brain is convinced that an A could be there. Unfortunately, what he is seeing is not what is actually on the coin....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
