IMHO, On the obverse, by the bridge of the nose, looks like the C from CENT on the reverse. And parts of the wreath.
That's a neat and attractive IHC. I happen to love clashes, die cracks, etc. I also loved Marilyn Monroe's beauty mole, so there you go.
Plaids, stripes and polkadots would clash. Sorry, just couldn't resist. Nice coin. I really love obvious clashes.
The correct answer to the OP's question is the obverse die clashed with the reverse die at one point before the same two dies struck the planchet to make this small cent.
Nice response everyone it's not very often that CT members agree. I like the coin it's a definite keeper congrats.
Thanks everyone, always had just a basic understanding of die clashes, but I just couldn’t wrap my head around this one. The Overlay site is great! It really helps with pulling it all together. I had read somewhere that in the mid1800’s there were many clashed coins with different imprints, I though this might be one of those. This one is definitly an indian die.
That’s a great piece! Really love the ‘O’ clash on the obverse and the doubles clash on the reverse. Awesome.
I know what you mean. My Flying Eagle was clashed with a Seated Liberty Half. You can see the clash through AMERICA and above the Eagles head up to the wing. There are other places on the obverse for the clash as it shows but I'll not mention them. a
When it was judged, then it was not noted on the slab which it should have been. The problem is that they take less than five seconds to decide the grade on most coins. As they do with currency.
