Die Clash Penny Errors

Additionally, “these terms refer to the closest approach the dies make in the absence of a planchet. In order for dies to clash, the dies must fall out of adjustment, making the minimum clearance zero (or less than zero).” – error-ref.com. Additionally, a similar example has been listed as TDC-1c-2014-01 via maddieclashes.com
