Defective Planchet? 1985 Lincoln

These are shelf anomalies in between the columns. Drops off to a lower area. Weird.

Appears to be die clashing.

 

Not a defective planchet by any means. That’s a definite die clash!

 

Thank you! I just read up on die clashes. Trying to find a match. Wow, a real error!

 

Found a match on Mad Die Clashes!

ADC-1c-1985-01
In bays 7 & 8 are unusual clash marks. Overlays suggest that it is part of Lincoln’s bears and throat. The degree of rotation is about 8 degrees and the misalignment about 5%. This is not enough to constitute a MAD clash entry, but enough to substantiate its inclusion in the Atypical files.

The obverse was void of any clash marks.

 

There you go! Glad you found a match. Now you know why it drops off to a lower area. It’s a mild but tire mint error.
