Description
CCL(TI)-1c-1997-01 This 1997 Lincoln cent has had two clash events that were offset in position. Due to this offset, a counter clash was formed during the second clash event. The obverse die was changed and there is slight abrasion to the reverse die. The overlays above show the relative position of the dies during the two clash events. This coin is in the collection of Joe Koelling. The images below show both clash marks (indicated by white arrows) and the counter clash marks (indicated by black arrows). The counter clash is in the form of extra columns seen in bays 9 and 10. In the image below are positive proof of a dual clash event can be seen in bay four. Extra columns can be seen in bays two and four. The next two images below show the offset between the two clash events.
