1876 Indian Head Cent Die Clash (Reverse)

Description

This 1876 Indian Head cent exhibits a die clash on the reverse, where the full front of the Indian's portrait and part of the ear are transferred onto the reverse die surface. Die clashes occur when the obverse and reverse dies strike each other without a planchet between them. This is a strong clash with clear detail of the portrait visible on the reverse, including both the facial profile and the ear — indicating significant force during the unintended die-on-die impact. The 1876 Indian Head cent was produced during the nation's centennial year, adding historical interest to this variety.
