<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Charlie32, post: 119859, member: 4030&quot;]Clashed dies </p><p>Dies that have been damaged by striking each other without a planchet between them. Typically, this imparts part of the obverse image to the reverse die and vice versa.</p><p><br /></p><p>When this happens, the dies keep striking coins.&nbsp; The coins that are struck after the dies have clashed, show the clashing.&nbsp; If a mint employee notices that the dies have clashed, the press will be stopped and the clash marks will be polished off.&nbsp; Depending on how quickly the clashing is spotted, there may be a few coins that were struck by the clashed dies, or there may be many.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have never seen a clashed buffalo nickel before, so I don&#039;t know how common they are.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Charlie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
