Most are aware of these, but for those that aren&#039;t...</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s believed that a Dennis the Menace type nightwatchman at the mint by the name of Theodore Eckfeldt decided he&#039;d mix &#039;n match dies, and made 3 (known) mule die clashes with the Flying Eagle cent. He may have also actually made coins with the mixed dies, but none have been found. He also made some plain-edge 1804 dollars in 1858. I don&#039;t think they did very good background checks on applicants back then!</p><p><br /></p><p>Most common (I think) is the FE obverse clashed with the 1857 Liberty Seated Half Dollar Obverse (photo below)</p><p><br /></p><p>Less common is the reverse clash with the 1857 Liberty Seated Quarter reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The least common is the obverse clash with the 1857 Liberty Double Eagle ($20 gold) obverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]735975[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
