Die clash.

[BC1969]

Most probably have me ignored, for those who don't.
69-D Kennedy half.
D MM on the reverse in the second S in States.
Almost opposite the one on the obverse.



I don't know if there is a DDO in that year/MM but there are notches under magnification.

Look like hits to me.

Time for more coffee.

I think that might be the case.
The good news is that I am getting an eye exam and glasses tomorrow lol

That's exactly it! Clashes don't work that way.

If you drill a hole in it an use it as a washer it might be less expensive than going to the hardware store.

 

[BC1969]

That's actually a good idea!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Is a clash when the working dies come together when no blank planchet is present?

If I am wrong, then please help me learn.
Don't just say sorry and quit. I cannot learn like that. Please.

I honestly don't remember.
I'm not a very smart person. I try, but stuff just doesn't compute sometimes..

I agree that it is a hit and not a Die Clash! As far as the DDO is concerned, it might just be the MDO-001 (MD-1-O-II-C (3) (D, S) Variety. Need more closeup pics of "IN GOD WE TRUST", "LIBERTY" and the Date but there definitely appears to be notching on the "N" in "IN" of "IN GOD WE TRUST" which appears South Southeast. Likely a Late Die Stage which makes it harder to determine.

Okay.

















Geeze, took 30 minutes to do that heh

If you need different light/angles I'll do my best.

Sorry that it took so long to take and post the pics! What I thought was notching on the "N" of IN, is damage but there may be some residual notching. I really can't tell a whole lot from the pics, so I am going to advise to try to match the Die Markers to the Variety. If it is the MDO-001 (Master Die Doubled Die Obverse) Variety, then the coin is a very Late Die Stage specimen in which most of the evidence of the MDO has been ground and polished off the Die.

It's cool. Gotta start somewhere.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed either but I think the subtle encouragement is for you to go back and review your previous thread rather than asking people to use their valuable time to write the same information again. The best thing you can do (on this site) is to go review old posts. That's a big part of the learning process. Also, googling "How does a coin die clash happen" will give you a host of answers that you can compare for accuracy.

And just to clarify, I'm not telling you not to post or ask questions...I just think it's easier to learn generic coin errors/varieties by doing a little research rather than looking at coins and guessing if they are errors.

I did read what Frank and everyone else said.
I read enough to know that a die clash is by definition when the two working dies are out of their safety clearance or something like that and then no planchet is present and the die slam together and in the process transfer the design from one die to the other.
Everything I said is based off of that die clash website that was recommended to me.


So..what is the point ?
I'm trying to learn here!
