1944 Atypical Die Clash ADC-10C-1944-01

Description

ADC-10c-1944-01 This is an unabraded, strong die clash that occurs on both the obverse and reverse of the coin. The first set of pictures shows the die clash on the obverse. Most notable are the leaves of the laurel branch as they protrude from Liberty’s face, from her forehead down to underneath her chin. The second photo is an overlay of the reverse design element that made the clash and where the clash occurred. The third photo shows more marks clash on the nape of Liberty’s neck up to her hairline left by leaves on the reverse laurel branch. This coin is courtesy of Robert Kirkland of Florida. The second set of pictures shows the reverse clash marks left by the obverse die. The first picture is of the nape of Liberty’s neck and the lower hairline. The second picture shows a small portion of Liberty’s forehead. Even though this coin is a later die state, the clash is still clear and crisp. Such clashes demand a premium when compared to abraded or fading die clashes.
