<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Delmer, post: 209939, member: 8219&quot;]I have now found that this area of the coat collar is indeed where the reverse pattern can be seen after a die clash.. and I&#039;ve bought the coin that proves it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; What this looks like to me is after a clash, an operator may have removed the dies, and a technician then recycled the set by grinding off the reverse pattern from the obverse die.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>No way would that perfectly parallell set of streaks result from anything other than a grinding die during a repair..&nbsp;&nbsp; Besides the half dozen I found that are like my picture,&nbsp; I&#039;ve found in my own pile, ONE coin that shows a &quot;more professionsl looking&quot; repair of a minor clashed die.&nbsp; Look at yours, in the area of the tip of the jacket collar for marred detail (tip of what looks like a big shark-tooth shape) you might find one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I dub this the &quot;sharktooth grinding&quot;.. well, I suppose we could go with &quot;MOCR&quot; - minor obverse clash repair.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having seen some of the mag articles on the Washingtons.. this story is not so lame and may be article-worthy??&nbsp;&nbsp; ;P</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>opinions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
