Clash Mark Through C of CENT


Obverse 9 is identified by date placement at LH and misplaced 18 digits in the denticles below the primary digits of the date.  Obverse 9 is observed with a clash mark in front of the face of Miss Liberty, rim breaks between 9:00 and 12:00 and light die flow lines.

Reverse I is in a similar die state as obverse 9, with the presence of light flow lines.  In addition, reverse I is observed with a clash mark through the C of CENT.

Comments:  The above plate coin is only the third example I have personally seen.

Plate coin:  D. Poliquin Collection, XF45
