    image.jpg image.jpg I first noticed the clash area on the reverse where Lincoln's nose would start. When flipping to see the obverse, I noticed the clashing of the columns. You can see them from the "Y" in Liberty and one in front of Lincolns face.

    image.jpg image.jpg There is also part of a clad where the bottom of the Memorial is shooting out from Lincoln's nose. Plus, part of the top of the Memorial right above the date. This lines are perfect comparison when over layed with the reverse.

    I looked and it appears to be a new and only one for this year, 1996.

    You should contact BJ Neff. He would probably want to put it on his site if it's a new one.

    The one I see on the sight isn't like mine. It looks to be a new one.

    I'll contact him about the inquiry. I was down to my last few rolls out of $20, when I found this one. It's my first both obverse/reverse clash!! I'm stoked!

    What gets me, is the thought that at one point, this coin would of been handed out to a customer at the bank. They probably wouldn't of noticed anything about it, spent it or worse, damaged it. I like the idea of there being collectors. We preserve this coins that most individuals would simply just toss away without a second thought. It brings a smile to my face knowing that it's in a better place to be cared for, the way it should be.

    It's this way with a lot of things collectible, and I suppose is part of the beauty of it all. Basically one man's just being another man's treasure.
