1955 Franklin Half Dollar - Typical Die Clash TDC-50C-1955-02
Error
Description
TDC-50c-1955-02 is a typical die clash on a 1955 Franklin half dollar, cataloged by Mad Die Clashes. Because of where the dies sat when they met, the clearest marks are the B of PLURIBUS and the M of UNUM behind Franklin's head, and the mark the eagle's right wing usually leaves on the obverse is missing. On the reverse, Franklin's hair left a line through the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the top of his collar shows in the field above the Liberty Bell. A small box-shaped mark under the eagle's right wing hints that the dies had also clashed earlier in their life.
