1889 Seated dime clash?

Namvet69Namvet69 Posts: 8,671 ✭✭✭✭✭

I dug this dime the other day. Condition is as found. I located a right angled anomaly to the left of the E in DIME on rev. Known Madclash overlay indicates a gowned leg which is not the same shape. Also a curved anomaly along the obv rim. Your comments are appreciated. Peace Roy

    The clash at E looks a lot like the clash on F-117.

    There are a LOT of clashes on Seated Dimes both obverse and reverse. One of the most common on the obverse is what looks like a flame coming out of Liberty's right elbow.

    Yes, on half dimes, there are similar common clash locations:

    • E in field under elbow
    • line below TATES (or between wreath tips) from straight base of Ms. Liberty

    So my link above was not really meant to say it could only be F-117; just that it was one possibility.
    Looking at the date location and other features would be needed for solid attribution.

    @yosclimber thanks for that. That is the clash with other variety points! You made my day. Bookmarked that site too. Peace Roy
