[QUOTE="iGradeMS70, post: 1698664, member: 29109"]What you're seeing are die clashes. These occur when the obverse and reverse dies collide with one another when no planchet is present in the striking chamber, resulting in a transfer of the one die's design elements to the opposing die. Die clashes were a common occurrence at the Mint during this era. They're fun to study, but most single-denom clashes carry little to no premium.[/QUOTE]
