I can't wait to get it in. They seem pretty scarce compared to the 50 cent clash. I picked one up slabbed last week (my first), but I'm proud of myself for cherrypick'n this unattributed coin :)

Anyone take a guess as to what it might be worth?

Here's a quick breakdown of the 'snow' varieties:
http://www.fly-inclub.org/1857varpage.htm

Snow 7,8,9 are the multi denominational clashes (the penny clashed with a $20, $.25, and $.50 respectively).

If you look at the reverse of the coin I posted above you can see the outline of an eagle going through the 'NE' of 'ONE'. This one isn't spectacular, but it's there, and it's mine now :)

Again, the one I bought isn't perfect, but it's there. Look to the word 'ONE' - the 'NE' part specifically. Now check this for a better example and pointers to the PUPs:
