    Question on Reverse that is clashed with Overse

    The oldest and most novice NVTE completed his inspection of what he claimed is a not so ordinary find late this night. Would first like to ask some
    questions before declaring it...

    Has there been any reported or listed Reverse clashed with Overse?
    What is the typical clashed image (one would expect the ear). And image should be facing opposite of the normal direction? Should it necessary be clashed in the exact Reverse area symmetrical to its location in the OVERSE side? What if the location is not in the exact area an farther away?

    Thanks!

    Clash marks always consist of incuse, mirror-image elements from the opposite die. They never include the ear, however. Clash marks are restricted to the field and the lowest-lying areas of the design.

        I'm no pro, but the ones I've seen are the beard nose & it's usually in the building w/ some protuding above. I believe 1983 or 84 DDR have a clash. So look up those years & should be able to see what it looks like.
