<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 4804582, member: 78244&quot;]1801 S-222 Large Cent. Prime EDS (no clashing in LIBERTY and no rim cud over IB). This is the prime die state before any clashing in LIBERTY. My guess is that the dies were loosely installed, and they quickly became misaligned and clashed twice in drastically different positions. The misaligned dies caused major loss of the device details. If you look at the images provided from PCGS CoinFacts, you can see two distinct die clashes in LIBERTY, and they are dramatically shifted relative to one another, indicating a loose and misaligned die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore, this coin was struck very early in the dies’ life precisely at the time when the clashing occurred.</p><p><br /></p><p>(It looks like there is a crack coming out of the upper left of R, but I promise that is just a ridge between two corrosion pits.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Has anyone ever seen another example of this variety that was clearly struck from misaligned dies? If so, how many are thought to exist?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1166843[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1166844[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
