1983-P Lincoln Cent "Extra Letters In Motto"
An interesting and highly collectable die clash is the 1983 "Extra Letters In Motto" shown in the photos below. It shows parts of an extra N,G, and O in the motto.
This is not a normal die clash. Ken potter states on his website that "This is the result of a counter clash; a piece of scrap steel was struck by a die and then counter sunk into this die."
