<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2214590, member: 15929&quot;]Over on the CU Forums, in the following thread:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=687136" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=687136" rel="nofollow">http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=687136</a></p><p><br /></p><p>you stated:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I bought those $100 Mixed P&amp;D bags back in 2004 when they were first introduced, and that is where I found my specimen missing the reverse clad layer. I also found several of the specimens with what appears to be the reverse clash. Coin World ran an article about it in late 2004. I never examined the obverse of mine for any clashes, but it appears the reverse has more than just a clash. The lateral mark to the right of the eagle&#039;s head which crosses the rays looks like it was initially from the bottom line of Kennedy&#039;s ear, and as you surmised, I agree that the raised dot on the shield is from the deepest recess of the inner ear.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, I think there is more to it than just a clash. Note that the lateral mark appears to be doubled. In some of my specimens, the mark is shorter but it grows progressively longer in three distinct stages. Also, the &quot;swollen&quot; area on the right side of the eagle&#039;s head and neck doesn&#039;t appear to coincide with any part of Kennedy&#039;s jaw or neck which you would think it would. I think the clash may have caused a die break where a lateral part of the surface of the die broke away. I sent an e-mail to Coin World as a follow-up to their article and they ran it in a later issue, but were not able to formulate a definite cause.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck in your quest to find one missing the clad layer. To the best of my knowledge, only two exist. What makes it so interesting now is the fact that you received bags from the Mint with the same clash as mine 4 years after I bought the bags. Like I said, it was in those bags with the clash that I found the one missing the clad layer. It would be cool if you came up with one missing the obverse layer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris&nbsp; </p><p>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, it says a Coin World Article was written aabout the missing clad layer, not the clash.</p><p><br /></p><p>BUT, December 2004 is your target date. Unfortunately, the current Coin World Online only goes back to January 2015.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
