Ridiculously Strong Die Clash

Couldn't help resist posting this link to an eBay BIN/obo listing for a III cent silver piece. The clash is extremely strong on both sides! Enjoy

I don't think is die clash. The trimes were so thin that patterns would show through the opposite side of the coin when minted with normal dies. Of course, I could be wrong.

 

Agreed on not a clash to much striking pressure

 

Ah, that makes sense as well. My bad then. Either way, the strength of the designs on its reverse makes it a unique coin!

 

What ever caused it, it's a cool looking coin CB. Thanks for the link.

Agreed not a clash. This is called "ghosting".
