CoinAuctions Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I found this CCDS in a 1984 original bank roll. This coin could grade MS66 or higher. My opinion is it will grade higher. The doubling appears 2x or 3x doubled, so the coin must have been double struck more than once. I will be honest, I don't know much about this error so I could be seeing a normal double strike.

LostDutchman Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 unfortuneately that is not a double strike... but it is called a die clash... it occurs when the 2 dies that strike coins come together and hit each other without a coin in the way... this leaves an reversed impression in the opposite die... much less valuable then a double strike but still very neat... this particular example is one of the hardest die clashes I have ever seen... and it appears to have happened a couple of times...and that die pair was prob. retired shortly after... neat coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 That's a great example--and nicely photographed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkykile Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Great example of a doubled die clash. Much better than anything I have found. Really really good pictures. The coin is very close to magnificent. Thanks for sharing. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneydog Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I'm glad I seen that I haven't seen one like it. And I am glad LostDutchman done a good job explaining it thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
