<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fusiafinch, post: 1726947, member: 18382&quot;]I applaud you for getting your skills of observation in shape! Always good practice. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen die clashes and machine doubling on Kennedys. I think that&#039;s what you have here. I&#039;m not sure that they would be classed as errors, however. For me, an error would be something in the die design (doubled dies) or clips, off-centered strikes and the like. Now, you can get pretty spectacular clashes or machine doubling that is worth a premium. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also like die clashes if I can see part of another design in the clash. Sometimes I can cherry-pick those. For example, I cherry-picked a 3 cent nickel once that had a die clash showing the full profile of Liberty on the reverse. So this area is a bit of fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>For Kennedy&#039;s I like to find the &quot;broken ray reverse&quot; on 1964 halves. The 1964&#039;s are so numerous that people view them all the same, but on some 1964 business strikes you can find the reverse for the &quot;accented hair proof&quot; variety. This has not been recognized for any premium, but these are far, far, far scarcer than the normal 1964 reverse die on business strikes. I enjoy finding them because I know I have something a lot scarcer than the common coin, even if no one else seems to care about it. You can find it by looking at the rays and stars under the motto and the designer&#039;s initials (see photo).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
