ADC-1c-1960D(SD)-94

Another tilted die clash from the 1960D(SD) Lincoln cent group that has multiple clash events.

3D / 1D 3 5 

 

The first two clash events occurred in the same approximate area; under Lincoln’s bust and through the word STATES. Double clash marks are seen from the letters in SATES under Lincoln’s bust area and a double line, offset from each other is seen through the word STATES. A single clash mark is seen coming from the bottom of the letter D in UNITED. The two overlays above show the approximate location of the dies when they meet.

The third clash event show the familiar line through the letters CE of CENT  which was generate by the top of Lincoln’s head.

The above die chip under the left top bar of the T in CENT can be used to identify the series of die clashes that occurred on this coin.
