2012 (P) Native American Dollar - Position B - Atypical Die Clash ADC-100c-2012P-01

Description

Matching the same ADC-100c-2012P-01 catalog designation as the Position A variant, this atypical die clash appears on the 2012-P Native American Dollar with Position B edge lettering. Position A and B describe which way up the edge lettering runs relative to the obverse: with the obverse facing up, it reads upside down on Position A coins and right side up on Position B coins. Collectors pursuing the complete set seek both Position A and Position B examples, as the edge lettering orientation creates distinguishable variants even from the same clash event. The 2012 Native American Dollar reverse commemorates 17th-century trade exchanges between indigenous peoples and European arrivals. Atypical die clashes represent a specialized category where transferred design elements do not conform to normal clash geometry. Struck in manganese brass clad composition at the Philadelphia Mint, this Position B example of the 2012 atypical die clash variety complements its Position A counterpart, with its edge lettering running the other way up.
