1982 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Zinc Large Date - Typical Die Clash TDC-1C-1982-02LD
Error
Description
Second in the MadDieClashes catalog of typical die clashes for the 1982 Philadelphia cent, TDC-1c-1982-02(LD) exhibits the familiar 5-degree rotation between dies that characterizes many Lincoln cent clashes — a slight angular misalignment at the moment of contact that is common enough to be considered the default clash geometry. This variety appears on the Large Date zinc subtype and was found in the collection of Joe Koelling. The clash impression left by the Y of LIBERTY shows particularly well in bay 2 of the Memorial building, and the tilt of this impression reflects the 5-degree rotational offset between the two dies. Even standard die clashes from this transitional year carry added collector interest because of the broader significance of the 1982 date in Lincoln cent history. Attribution by MadDieClashes.
