It seems that the year 2000 was an odd year for the Jefferson nickel when it came to die clashes. This particular die clash has three distinct sets of clash marks and is in the personal collection of Bob Saylor.

While it is hard to distinguish the three separate sets of clash marks in the first two pictures, the third picture clearly shows the three sets. The first picture shows the clash marks left by the base of Monticello.

The second picture, aptly named “flames over Monticello”, shows the clash marks left by the back of Jefferson’s neck and his queue.

The third picture shows the clashes left by Jefferson’s forehead.

The last picture shows the clash marks left by the bottom of Jefferson’s hair, located beneath Monticello and the back of Jefferson’s head.
