I feel like I'm missing something..... It's crazy how much the obverse die must have been filled but when I look at it I think maybe a die clash but idk. There's nothing on the reverse showing a die clash. I just think there is more to this coin than my knowledge picks up on.
Nope.. quote "A weak strike will show a poorly developed or absent design rim. A grease strike will show a very well-developed design rim." closed quote I want to share this webpage with you - http://www.error-ref.com/weak_strikesinsufficientrampressure/
Thanks for the clarification. I received a grease filled penny/cent yesterday. No L in liberty and a very faint 9 on the last digit. It is a 2009. The reverse has MD on almost every letter on all the writing around the rim. Not in bad shape but not worth much either. Just nice to find something.
The area in front of the ear looked weird to me and there is, what looks like, some sort of outline in the empty field in front of the nose. That's why I was thinking die clash.
You'll have to do the little arrow thing on this clash you're seeing. I think everybody who asks these types of questions ought to learn how to do that so as to put our noses right up against what they're looking at. Or, in lieu of the little arrow thing, you can do the little line with the little dot thing as I know it's sometimes difficult to draw the little triangle thing at the end of the little arrow thing. Oh, lol. Sorry about that. But, FWIW, I'm not seeing a clash...
Simple.. If what you are seeing is raised above the field it could be a Die Clash. If it is incuse below the field it cannot be a Die Clash.
I don't think that's a clash. Nothing familiar to the Reverse. Most of the time clashes on Memorial Cents are of the Lincoln Memorial. Such as this "Prisoner Cent"
Ya, that's what I had read, the image would be something from the reverse. It just seemed like a very strange mark.
