[QUOTE="davidh, post: 514960, member: 15062"]I was just looking at this Three Cent and realized that, not only is there the major die clash but there is a 177-degree CCW die obverse die rotation as well. In a normal coin of this type, the bow on the reverse would be opposite the top of Liberty's head on the obverse. As you can see, the portrait clash impression on the reverse has the chin at the top and the forehead at the bottom. This would put the date opposite the bow on the reverse which is the opposite end of where it should be. As it happens, the center of the bow is opposite the last digit of the date, about 177 degrees off.
