Mark Stilson Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 As some of you may know just getting back in to coins. I have been looking at morgan variations, One type I have noticed was the "clashed" type. Either the pictures I have seen are not to clear or I'm missing something. (Probably the later.) Could some one steer me in the direction of a clear picture. Most of the ones I've seen look more like damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 It is damage, but since it is caused by the mint it is collectible damage. A clashed die is one where the obverse and reverse dies clash without a coin blank in between. This causes the impression of the reverse to appear on the obverse or vica versa. So it will look like damage, but in nice cases you'll be able to see the transposed design. Bust halves had this happen fairly frequently. Look at the coin on the left and the superimposed image in the link Clashed Die Example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Now thats a clashed die!! Most of the ones I've seen on the net were a lot smaller then the die gouge on a tailbar. And to me not really identifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
