[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1812919, member: 41863"]I recently won an 1865 copper nickel three cent piece and I was wondering if anyone had a Breen book to look up varieties for that year. What I am looking for is a heavy die clash on the reverse. And by heavy, I mean like tripled heavy. It is well defined and very obviously a clash, extremely obvious. I originally thought it was a severe scratch but not so, when looking at it I asked myself 'what if it's a die clash' and started looking at it from that perspective. So I quickly flipped it over back to the obverse for orientation to try and understand what I was looking at. It is a full profile of lady Liberty's facial outline. Three times. Shows the bridge of her nose up to her eyebrow and all the way down to her neckline. It is slabbed and no mention of this by a Breen designation. Can anyone help? Cherry-pickers Guide? Breen Encyclopedia? I'm trying for pictures now.[/QUOTE]
