Nice, clashed with a $20 gold liberty! I'll say VF30 on this one.

Someone explain the clash to me, and show me what to look at!

I think a dark photo is under-emphasizing the details. I'm leaning more towards EF40. You spotted that on ebay? Well-done!  |

I found this article from 2009 that tells about the clashes for this coin http://www.pcgs.com/News/1857-Flyin...Double-EagleAny updated estimates on how many of these are out there? The article mentioned that some believe 60 survive, however the author thinks it's about half of that. -MV |

MV,
Thanks for the informative link. Deferring to the author's opinion, it looks like it could be a pretty valuable piece. Nice pick-up Red Raider!

Nice coin! I am at EF on the obverse, VF on the reverse. |

Yeah, this is full XF imho too. I think there is some strike weakness on the bottom right of the obverse and the bottom right of the reverse. But given the rest of the coin is XF, the strike related issues should not lower the overall grade.
