    Has anyone ever run into this one before? Maybe someone could tag Mike Diamond for me, thanks. Under the chin/obverse shows a 3 pillars going towards the date, & in the 3rd bay reverse. This should enlarge img841.jpg able. Found two alike in same roll. img840.jpg

    It's a "jail cent", fairly common die clash.

    No, clashes only occur in the fields, not on the devices. I see some gas bubbles there but, based on the OP description, it sounds like he was referring to a standard clash.

    No, not in change. I had purchased all 7 rolls of these different varieties when they first came out and am just getting to them now. Sadly one roll had completely spotted up from being stored too long but all the others have survived.

    Yes, there are some gas bubbles present but that reverse die crack is on both in the same exact position as are the marks at the bridge of the nose and mouth. This die was tooled/polished.

    Now that I look closer, there are 2 straight cracks on the reverse. Those are common areas for cracks.

    You're talking about the die polish lines in front of the face? Yes, the obverse die was heavily polished.
