Even for a 3 cent piece, this is a particularly strong obverse and reverse die clash.

All the photographs of this coin are the work of Billy Crawford and the coin is part of Aisha Shahid’s collection.

The overlay shows the relative position of the dies when they did clash.

The pictures above  show the various clash marks left by the reverse die on the obverse die.

Portions of the wreath can be seen in front of LIBERTY’s face.

The top of the Roman numeral can be seen from the bottom of LIBERTY’s jaw.
