The obverse die for a Flying Eagle cent clashed with that of a Liberty Seated half dollar, head-to-head, when the dies were being changed from half dollars to cents, according to researcher Chris Pilliod (as quoted from Cherrypickers'): "In the process, the press was cycled through once and clashed the half dollar obverse dies with the cent obverse die. Why are the dies head-to-head? Chris has shown through die cud research that the Flying Eagle dies were installed in the press with the obverse die in the anvil (lower) position, while Liberty Seated half dollars had their obverse die in the hammer (upper) position."
