The last pic on your site shows signs of clash marks, but that is all I see on the coin.

I see an extremely worn die. It's pretty bad off. I see no signs of a class 8. I think there could also be a striking error, but nothing more than that.

Thought as much, but wasn't quit sure ... have to admit tho, is quit interesting.

The last one, (pic) befor the normal (Last shot) is of a clashing of dies, (it appears) but not quit sure of what it's clashed with.


Thanks for your input/s.

Clashed dies are dies that struck each-other without a planchet in between them. The dies clash with each other, leaving a raised impression on the opposite die.
