I just got this Half Dime and I really like all of the die clashes. How would you grade it?

This one's a standout to me, between the clashing and that beautiful Seated "circulation cameo" look. Love the coin. EF-45, maybe? Is this one for the collection or to flip?

I agree with XF-45. I don't think it quite makes AU50. To answer SsuperDdave, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I bought it with flipping it in mind, but it looked better in hand when I got it. I really like the eye appeal of it, but it doesn't really fit into any of my sets.

I just thought I would post an update. I decided to submit this one to PCGS and I got the grade back today - XF45. I also had it True Viewed:

Really nice! I have always wondered what clashing dies sound like versus stamping out a coin.

Clink! Clink! Clank!

You gotta quit posting this coin. It's agonizing.

I get the sense that it's a pretty big noise, steel being so much harder than silver. Surprised they don't catch it on the spot and stop the press.
