<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 4326553, member: 92655"]That can be a die clash. Where two dies come together without a planchet in place. The striking of the two dies together leave an image of the opposite die that then gets transferred to the subsequent coins that enter the chamber. It's not at all uncommon on 19th century coins. I have an old gold dollar that has a spectacular die clash on the obverse. It is a legit anomaly and occurs at the mint. I am not an error guy really but I don't believe that die clashes, unless they are spectacular command much of a premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
