First post here so thanks for the add. I've noodled decimal coins for a few years now & I'm quite the fan of Die Clashes. Earlier vintage decimal clashes are much harder to come by now so I was wondering if many here have some decent examples to share? I was hoping to attach a pic of my own but seems my files are too large. Thanks in advance.
Hi and welcome to the forum. Sorry I'm not much help, but this is a die clash on a 1778 8 Reals coin I quite like. Wrong end of the spectrum, I know. :welcome:

Not much help as well,try to stay away from the die clash rabbit hole,sorry.
Stumbled across this recently, a 1966 round fifty.

That poor coin. Someone needs to melt it down and recover the silver.
Hi Maybe, i did an article printed in CAB magazine years ago on die clashes on pre decimal.
Try a web search of the magazine.
If that fails send me an email , i think you can do that within this forum and I can email back a pdf of the article.
Die clashes were very common, especially the pennies.
Cheers, Fred.

Your probably right, it isn't a very good dieclash on it.

That original "price" was a bit rich. I wonder how much they accepted?
