2012 Atypical Die Clash ADC-100c-2012P-01

Description

Matching the same ADC-100c-2012P-01 catalog designation as the Position A variant, this atypical die clash appears on the 2012-P Native American Dollar struck in Position B die orientation. Position B represents the alternative rotational relationship between obverse and reverse dies used for edge lettering, and because the die alignment differs from Position A, the identical clash event can produce subtly different transferred impressions on the finished coin. Collectors pursuing the complete set seek both Position A and Position B examples, as the edge lettering orientation creates distinguishable variants even from the same clash event. The 2012 Native American Dollar reverse commemorates 17th-century trade exchanges between indigenous peoples and European arrivals. Atypical die clashes represent a specialized category where transferred design elements do not conform to normal clash geometry. Struck in manganese brass clad composition at the Philadelphia Mint, this Position B example of the 2012 atypical die clash variety complements its Position A counterpart, with the different die orientation producing a distinct edge lettering relationship.
