    If I mirror a reverse, I can see where the clashing happened - but it looks doubled. So the dies were clashed twice slightly offset before striking the dime?

    It's very dramatic for sure.

    Yes-clashed twice with slight rotation between clashes. Strongest clash I've ever seen.

    Why can't these things be found when the coin is MS67+? Ugh. Lol

    I've seen another from this pair of dies. You don't often see the peripheral lettering clashed so strongly. Certainly a nice find!

    Clash?

    That looks like an outright SMASH!


    Sweet! image
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Along with this photo it is indeed the best I've seen. A double-clash (reply) for sure.

    You would think so, Teddy but there's just a partial medium strength outline of Roosevelt's head on the reverse. Very strange.

    Here's the reverse. Almost looks like a tilted die.

    it is kinda strange...clashed like a moose obv
    then a medium clashed reverse

    i figured the bridge of his nose would of been profound on the reverse...maybe date too

    it's still a "clash moose" to me
