Die Clashed 1995 Lincoln?

Oops...hit enter instead of tab...LOL!

Anyway, I like to collect errors - I'm pretty sure that I found a 1995 Die Clash (Obv).
I have uploaded the following images (first two are pretty huge).

Really Big Obverse
Pretty Big Obverse (Photo Negative)
Large Pitiful Reverse

I took one photo of the Obv and one of the Rev at about same distance, lighting, etc...then opened the Obv image in Flash. The rev image was saved and then alpha'd out so that it was only about 15% visible, on top of the obv. The stairs match up as does one bush under the neck. I am still going over the images and the coin looking for other details...the images that are uploaded are not retouched (and the photo-neg is only a photo-neg) I did not upload the super imposed image.

Besides the fact that I have too much time on my hands, I would like any other Error Collector's opinions.

Thank you!

Regards,

Scott

Nice Picture.

if the outline of a device from one side shows through on the opposite side of the coin then I,d say yes, its a die-clash.

It's tough to tell exactly what that is but it is probably not caused by a clash. Clashes
usually occur in dies which are set up in the press so that the obverse and reverse are
aligned perfectly but upside down to one another. In this case the lines are far too low
on Lincoln's bust to be the top of the memorial. It's not impossible, but unlikely. Without
the coin in hand I'd guess a planchet defect or post strike damage.

On extremely worn dies you can get the opposite side to bleed through because the die
has less resistence to pushing the metal where it is opposite a design feature which is cut
into the die. This die does not look sufficiently worn for that to be the case though.

I see planchet plating problems, not a die clash.

Might be plating problems, could be damage from other tools, appears to have a couple of die gouges there in the coat. Doesn't look like a clash at all and it would be VERY odd (but not unheard of) to have the dies that far misaligned when they clashed.

Thank you for all of the input. After considering what it is that I am looking at logic dictates that the 'pattern' is too far off to be clashed. Thank you.

Usually on a penny die clash you see the spaces between the pillars of the Memorial in the obv fields.

I have a 1995 die clash cent, with quite a strong memorial presence on the obverse. I wish they were worth lots of money, though. But I enjoy it nonetheless.
