<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 652072, member: 4350&quot;]Die clashes are often tough to visualize since it&#039;s the high points of each die that come together.&nbsp; The high points are design features like the fields and anything that is in lower relief on the struck coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>On cents,&nbsp; the area where Lincoln&#039;s neck is , is shallow on the struck coin and is therefore one of the higher points on the obverse die.&nbsp; What Conder101 pointed out so beautifully is that on the reverse die,&nbsp; the columns are recessed and the bays are the highest points.</p><p><br /></p><p>When Lincoln cent dies clash,&nbsp; you can sometimes see evidence on the obverse, of the bays in the fields as well as in the area under Lincoln&#039;s ear (neck area)</p><p><br /></p><p>These coins with bays on the obverse are collectible and some folks try to put a good collection of them together.&nbsp; Although they can be found pre-1982,&nbsp; they are more easily found on newer Lincolns.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Fun stuff!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
