<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 26481407, member: 104064&quot;]No idea where this goes - world, error? nah, just a coin chat. I was browsing Canadian on GC and immediately saw the strong obverse die clash on this PCGS MS62. I needed to fill the nickel gap in my UNC George VI so I put in a bid. Won for $16 including BP and shipping. We love lots of pics on here, right? </p><p><br /></p><p>GC GreatPhoto - gotta love their effort on a coin with a book value of $8!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1688238[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>USPS was a fiasco but it arrived yesterday, more than two weeks after purchase. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1688239[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>These are sometimes generically called Hearing Aid varieties for the clash inside the ear.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1688243[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen them listed for nickels and dollars in various years, so they&#039;re not that uncommon. The dies took a serious whacking this time though. The two images above highlight different die cracks on the reverse, and in hand I detect some subsistence of parts of that die. I&#039;m thinking it didn&#039;t last long afterwards. The crack at 2:00 goes through the maple leaf and then out to the rim. </p><p><br /></p><p>The overlay on Maddieclashes is quite busy and not aligned properly, so I reversed the reverse and put in some arrows to show where the obverse clashing came from.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1688240[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s more. The rump of the beaver is clashed in front of old George and I&#039;m not sure what&#039;s at the back of his head (see second image). It must be part of the maple leaf. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here I&#039;m trying a different angle. The beaver butt clash in front of George is hard to capture. The reverse shows another clash under the beaver&#039;s nose of the back of George&#039;s neck and another crack at the C of Cents, not seen in the other pics. I&#039;m surprised there isn&#039;t more clash on the reverse considering how broken the die is from it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1688241[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I found another one from the same die pair and about the same die state that sold on ebay in August for $CAD40 (about $USD25, seller&#039;s pics). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1688242[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Shout out to [USER=24592]@BoneDust[/USER] who posted a similar thread about a 1948 12 years ago and is still actively watching the forum! <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1948-canada-5-cents-multiple-die-clashes.238425/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1948-canada-5-cents-multiple-die-clashes.238425/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1948-canada-5-cents-multiple-die-clashes.238425/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I got my $16 worth and then some.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
