[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 102550, member: 1242"]rujam, Die Clashing occurs fairly often on Mercury Dimes but in no way as often as the Die Clashing that has been seen on numerous Morgan Silver Dollars! It would be hard to put any kind of number ratio on the occurrences but I would guess that 1 in 500 searched would have some Die Clashing although some would be very hard to identify. Look in the flat fields (surface) of the coin on both the Obverse and Reverse. Especially look under Miss Liberty's chin and behind her neck to just above the hairline on her neck on the Obverse, look inside and all around the periphery of the leaves, branches and stems of the twig (bush, branch or whatever it is called) and along the periphery of the axe. These are the areas which are harder to be grind or polish Die Clashing marks out between mintings! Frank[/QUOTE]
