<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2036770, member: 70703&quot;]I&#039;m not sure about the reverse. It looks like post minting strike(s) of some sort. I don&#039;t see anything Bolonia related, but the &quot;fabric hashing&quot; had to be part of whatever &quot;die&quot; design contained the letters BON...and the other elements. It looks like it was stuck multiple times by&nbsp; the way all the different pieces don&#039;t line up...there&#039;s no organization to the lay out...almost wonder if this didn&#039;t fall into a press of some sort at some factory and got struck multiple times by some thing as it sat in the press loose, bouncing around, before it fell out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse has an obvious die clash. they&#039;re &quot;caused when a coin planchet fails to be placed between two dies during the minting process, causing the dies to smash together. The design of one or both may impress into the opposite die, causing a &quot;shadow&quot; of the design to appear on subsequent coins minted with the damaged dies. The impact of the two dies may also result in die cracks or defects.&quot; You can clearly see the ON and CEN of the ONE CENT from the reverse of an IHC. You can also see more of the affect of the reverse post minting strikes, where the obverse rim, denticles, and other devices got flattened from being smashed when the reverse designs were struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Man, that&#039;s a crazy coin...got a lot going on. I&#039;ll be interested in the more knowledgeable folks weighing in on this one. Cool find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
