[QUOTE="LaCointessa, post: 3455640, member: 87186"]I think the point about it not being a die clash is important. Usually when [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] responds in the way he did here, there is something for me to learn. My early morning reading on die clash today reminds me of the definition: "when [U][COLOR=#ff4d4d][B]opposing dies[/B] [/COLOR][/U]collide with each other when a [URL='http://www.error-ref.com/blank-or-planchet/']planchet[/URL] fails to be fed into the striking chamber." (emphasis added) [url]http://www.error-ref.com/die_clash/[/url] If a coin evidencing a die clash must show some of what normally appears on one side of the coin on the 'wrong' side, then by definition it can not be the effect of a die clash we see on your coin. If your coin did suffer a die clash then we should see some part of the memorial or the reverse legend on the obverse and not another "6" on the obverse where the date (which contains a 6) should and does appear. I hope that is not clear as mud.[/QUOTE]
