Die clash 1997 penny?

4 posts in this topic

Looks like another Lincoln cent was sitting on top of this one, and something caused this cent to tone where the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse of the top coin was contacting this coin. On a die clash, the reverse would normally be centered on the obverse, and would be rotated 180 degrees from the obverse. There are exceptions for rotated die, mis-aligned die, etc., but the above description would be the norm.

And, not to be picky, but just for the sake of accuracy: Monticello is on the five cent piece. ;)

I guess I shouldn't have gotten so excited. I thought it looked like it through. Sorry, I got confused about the monticello. I hope that I will actually find something rare next time. Thank you for your help!
