Anyone have Wheat Cent Die Clashes to show off?

I enjoy die clashes and remember the first one I saw. It was on the reverse of a Wheat Cent. I have it somewhere and will take some pictures when I locate it. I would love to see others if you have them. Well if you don't have Wheats you can show off others even though they probably have their own thread.

Actually, despite all the wheat cents I've poured through, I don't think I've found a single wheat cent with a clash. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough...

 

When I first found this I thought it was a die clash. I've since been educated that it's a Progressive Indirect Design Transfer (PIDT). Sorry, I had a hard time getting the light, focus and angle right.

 

That's still pretty cool. I've seen these but didn't know they had a proper name for it. Thanks for sharing. This is why I enjoy CT always something you can learn.

 

I'm sure I've seen some in the thousands of wheats I own but they usually aren't dramatic enough for me to keep em to the side.

 

Here's the overlay from mad die clashes. http://www.maddieclashes.com/one-cent-overlays/



Lincoln Cent (Wheat Reverse): 1909 – 1958

 

I like those overlays and have used them on dimes, memorials, three cent nickels but no wheats.

 

I had no idea these had a name other than "ghosting". Thanks for sharing. I just found this website that explains it pretty well (now that I know it's name). I have tons of those but I don't really consider them errors so I don't set them aside.

You "have" tons of them or you "had" tons of them?

Just what I needed more stuff to read Thanks
No I'm serious I appreciate it I enjoy this stuff.

 

I agree. They're not "errors," they're die states. As such, they have the same intrinsic added value as any other late die state coin, which is to say, none.

 

It's quite cool, TJ, and there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that someone would pay a modest premium for the coin, and do so knowing exactly what it is. Thanks for posting.

 

Thanks Book! It crossed my mind to get it attributed ($10.00, ANACS special) but it's in pretty bad shape!

 

Unfortunately, yes... but it's already attributed correctly by you and is a fine example nonetheless.

 

Oh shoot! You said wheat, sorry!

 

Good question; I guess I didn't make that clear. I still have quite a few of these. I have an error collection and I set aside coins that I believe to be errors until I can confirm or deny. The rest that don't go into my Type Set gets put into my excess. These are all in my excess stash now. Here's one that I happen to have photographed. Please ignore the plate blistering.

 

You want me to ignore that plating blistering? I can't! I think it looks great. I've never seen one like that in that year before! Very nice!
