[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 7751843, member: 13307"]Hello all... Just going through some of the coins I picked up this week on "vacation" to visit my family back home...and I've come across a coin that's a bit outside my knowledge base. It's a 1957 (73) Proof 5 Pesetas (mintage of 25,000 pieces) with what looks like a die clash on the reverse die...but of the reverse image (the crown detail) in the fields under the coat of arms. I count THREE distinct sets of images. [ATTACH=full]1327409[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1327407[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1327408[/ATTACH] While I try to image this coin to share what I'm seeing...what would you call something like this? Would it still be a clashed die? An overstrike? Thanks! [B]EDIT: After getting some better photos, and taking a closer look after a good night's sleep, I can confirm it is definitely a clashed die. See below for new images.[/B][/QUOTE]
