Picked this Lady up my last day at the show.....

Got her as a slightly off center, and overall Good Looker.
After I took her out of the 2X2, I got a pleasant surprise up in the Cap....

    Nice die clash, scroll from the reverse; behind the lower curls and underneath the bust...what is up with the "dragons teeth" (triangles) in the cap?

    These are remnants of the dentils from a previous strike.

    Members of the Bust Half Nut Club have always called them "pecker tracks".

    Double struck! You can tell something was going on since the second (main) strike is a bit offcenter as well.

    Any remaining undertype on the reverse?

    It's a beautiful coin, congratulations!

    That's no die clash there on the cap. Happen to have a reverse pic on hand?

    LOL ... did you send it off to "6-year photo?"

    Wonderful coin, nonetheless!

    actually found better photo

  • davewesendavewesen Posts: 6,823 ✭✭✭✭✭

    that is neat. is it a die gouge fixing an engraver slip from the wing to the motto?

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I have been patiently waiting for the reverse picture...checking weekly... waking up in the middle of the night to check sometimes... At last.... ;) Nice coin. Cheers, RickO

    should be a neck clash. you can see the base of the neck betweeen the head of the eagle and the motto. you can see lot of cap clashing around k5-6 eagles talons/50c.

    i wonder if the QC guy died of yellow fever the winter of '13? 1814 50c pieces are wonderfully a mess!

    Was hoping for an expert to chime in...
    All I know is what Overton says "The Heavy die defect ridge joins central part of left wing to scroll below E"
