Hey @keoj, hey buddy!

Take a look at the reverse on this coin - never seen a die line like that. If I’m seeing what I’m seeing

This looks pretty cool. Wonder what's going on here.

Listing says die clash

I’ve no idea

moursund

nice coin, though. Great strike!
Edited to add: looks better than a 61

TDN.... its the famous neck die Die Clash. Typically seen on 77-CC coins but seen on others (like the 78-S). There are a few other LDS clash marks. What you are seeing is the "In God We Trust" banner remnants (the horizontal lines) clashed on the right side of the eagles neck. Sometimes, additional aspects are seen on the left. The other clash tell is often seen between the left feather and the left thigh of the eagle. This feature is a remnant or Miss Liberty's outstretched arm from the obverse. These are pretty cool to see. The latter left wing-left thigh are seen ion many dates like 73-CC, 74-CC, and others. The top die clashes are typically seen 77-CC and 78-S. There might be others.

Very cool to see! Nice find!

If you would like to see images of the lower die clash, let me know.

Best, Keoj

Is that just machine doubling?

kaz

Looks like the DDR to me.

keoj

That's a 78-S DDR. Definitely not machine doubling. Note the doubled "420" in addition to the arrows. Although the arrows look incomplete, that is due to the fact that 78-S DDR reverse die was created using a "broken arrow" master die (also seen on a 77-S broken arrow die variety).

Joe, can you post images of the lower die clash? I haven't seen that before.
thanks

I bought that coin. Finishing up a book of Trade die varieties and will be imaging it extensively. It does have interesting clashing on an interesting die pair. Not quite as dramatic of a transfer as another from 1877-CC though.

I learned more here in less than a dozen posts than I did viewing yet another 150+ post about CAC. Amazing!

Yeah! Thanks for the "class"!!

See note that I sent out yesterday.... Search for "clash" in thread title. I corrected a few mistakes that I made.

Best, Keoj

Great clash marks!

What you are seeing is the "In God We Trust" banner remnants (the horizontal lines) clashed on the right side of the eagles neck.

I'm certainly no expert, but that looks more like it's from the bale that Miss Liberty is seated on. if it was the IGWT banner it would be atop the eagle's head. if someone did an overlay it would easily show that.

The OP corrected that in a separate thread.

It is the hey bale IMHO
