Could be 1950 S Cent Die Clash

I don't recall ever having a cent with a die clash. Could this be one. You can see the outline of Lincoln on the reverse. S/B 1950 S Sorry

Not a Die Clash. It's called a Progressive Indirect Image Tranfser. Ghosting.

 

I have a typo or two. This is a 1950 S and it may be a die clash not a Dte.

 

Thanks Paddy. Help is very much appreciated.

 

Here is the information -

nice example. I've been perusing around looking for a Indirect Image Transfer example just to understand it more.

 

Would that be called a PIIG?

Yepper, paddyman is spot on. This happened a lot on Canadian large cents and British large penny's.

 

With that large accumulation of 70 years, it is ironic that I have been able to find several different variations in the same date and mint. In this case I found another "ghost" in another 1950 S. It is much less visible, but it does seem to be there. I wonder if, as a child or as a teenager, I saw something in a coin and didn't know what it was, and just put them in my stash.

 

Another Ghost? I found this 1920 D as I was sorting another box of early wheat cents.
