<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 2621654, member: 78298&quot;]IDK if this is the case, but:</p><p>A <b>die clash</b> error happens when the coin dies come together in the coining press without a <a href="http://coins.about.com/od/coinsglossary/g/planchet_coin.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.about.com/od/coinsglossary/g/planchet_coin.htm" rel="nofollow">planchet</a> between them. This causes an imprint of each die to be left on the opposing die face. For example, an impression of the <a href="http://coins.about.com/od/coinsglossary/g/obversedefined.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.about.com/od/coinsglossary/g/obversedefined.htm" rel="nofollow">obverse</a> die is left on the <a href="http://coins.about.com/od/coinsglossary/g/reversedefined.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.about.com/od/coinsglossary/g/reversedefined.htm" rel="nofollow">reverse</a> die, and vice versa. Although the Mint usually makes an effort to clean up these marks, they are sometimes visible on the coins themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
