Post some cool clashes

One of my favorite coin topics.
They're so common on Indian Cents some dates are actually rarer without clashmarks.
Try finding an 1877 without reverse clashmarks. Even Blay's "Indian Princess" PCGS 66RD
has faint signs of the indian profile on the reverse (in front of the O of ONE).
1865's are another known highly clashed IH. This 65 Fancy 5 has obverse double clash marks.
The holy grail of 1865 clashes is Irish Mikes Plain 5. The deep, graphic reverse clash is the template
you can use to see where the faint clashes on coins like Blay's 1877 came from.
When clashes are off-set it gets even better, like the 1880 S1 where denticles from the obverse
show up in the reverse fields.
An overlay that shows exactly what position the obverse die hit the reverse die to make the 80 S1.

Great to see you posting! Stewarts Indian Princess is the only red 1877 that I've ever coveted.......
I liked these IHC clashes when I owned them - these are the reverse clashes.
The FE double denomination clashes are even cooler!
Love those FE clashes and the X Larry Steve IH clash is second only to the 80S.
ps. Shylock, good to see some of your posts again, as always.

This one started me collecting clashes.
This one took me years to find one I really liked.
This one fell in my lap.

This 13-S type 1 is clashed just about every place it can be. Not only that but it's also the prettiest one I've ever seen. The toning is really something as the Buffalo looks as it's plowing through a rainbow. It's still raw but won't be for long.....Joe

Very nice & very pretty....
Rick Snow - I've come to the conclusion that ALL MS 1877 Indian Cents have one or more clash marks above
the O in ONE (looks like a backwards L)
If Rick Snow says that, collectors should be very suspicious if they ever see raw high grade 1877s for sale
without that chin mark above L.
A photoshop overlay I made years back that explains were all the reverse clashes on IHs come from.
Since the pictures are of excellent quality, I would not need to see the coin. I would need only your permission to use those pictures. We generally include the name of the owner of each die clash on MADdieclashes.com. However, I can understand if you would rather not have your name attached.
I can be reached at MADdieclashes@aol.com if you all are willing to do this.
Thank you,

Here is an Indian Cent obverse clashed on the back of an 1864 Two Cent piece.
It is easy to miss on the full coin without looking close. These are listed in the Cherrypickers' Guide 4th edition volume 1 as FS-001.8. Not sure, but I think the numbering system may have been changed on some or all since then. If so, I don't know what it is called now.

Thats the 3 cent nickel equivelant of the Irish Mike reverse profile, and on an error no less.
Very cool
