<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheBigH, post: 291516, member: 9866&quot;]If the reverse shows what looks like a partially fallen column, that is probably the result of a die clash. That happens when there isn&#039;t a planchet in between the two dies, and they strike each other, transferring a design portion to either side. In other words, the obverse will show the Lincoln Memorial upside down (unless the dies are not oriented correctly), and the reverse will show Lincoln upside down. Those are sometimes called &#039;prisoner cents&#039; because Lincoln looks like he is behind bars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
