[QUOTE="mynamespat, post: 2665438, member: 83738"]I think we're looking at two different features. I'm looking at the thin horizontal line that curves into the "1" on on side and slightly upward on the other. Although limiting detail, I also also see small amounts of activity by where liberty's hand is touching the shield and also by the seat. In the close up of the reverse I see what looks like field movement between the wreath and the "H" as well as by the "D". I wouldn't normally assume that is a clash, rather than ghosting, except the other features seem to indicate it as well. You don't have a close up photos of the corresponding area of reverse around "STATES", but I'm thinking that area was the primary contact point (and what appears to be heavy die scratches seems to confirm). Thus, I would assume the north-south mark below the date is probably a die gouge from repair since it appears to cover the clash and there's no obvious distinction such as a serif. I dunno... maybe I'm completely off on this one, but I don't see any reason not to share my opinion.[/QUOTE]
