I found this while browsing registry sets and coin facts etc. I had dreamed of seeing something like this but had not until tonight. To the owner of this, impeccable taste in purchasing this at auction. Amazing! By looking at the HA auction photos, just the slightest difference in lighting has a big impact as well. Viewing this large is better. Anyone else have cool Mercury Dime Die Clashes to share?
This example is PCGS MS68FB (8/0) but it was only a Pop 2/0 when it sold in 2015.

NICE! That's a really neat clash. I don't have a Merc clash but I do have this one-
@keyman64
My, my ... that's impressive. I have (or have had) several with leaves in front of Liberty's nose, mouth and eyes, and even one or two with faint leaves behind the neck, but I have never seen one with the branch and remnants extended below the chin into IGWT, Very, very kewl.
Of course 68FB is pretty dang impressive too.

I love when you can see the leaves in front of the face. It is so cool.

I love all of the metal flow lines in this one. Only a 63 fb.

Very strong clashing. Could be labeled "The Runny Nose" specimen.
That's actually a double clash with die rotation between clashes.
