<p>[QUOTE="CaptHenway, post: 8410746, member: 13813"]Don't have any to share, but I remember the day I identified the first dual-denomination clash mark on one of these. I was sitting with Bill Fivaz at the big error collectors meeting at the 1977 ANA Convention in Atlanta. I was the Editor of Collectors Clearinghouse at the time, and covering the meeting for Coin World.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bill was showing me stuff he had bought at the show, and he handed me one of the cents with the half dollar clash marks on the obverse. These had been published in Clearinghouse by the first Editor, but nobody ever knew what had caused them. This was the first time that I had handled one. I studied it for a while, and eventually the Seated Liberty design, backwards, just popped into my head. I told Bill what he had and he damned near fell off his chair.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
