Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 12/06/2011 10:57 pm I have an 1852 $1 gold piece slabbed MS60 by ANACS. There is a die clash on the obverse that shows a berry and leaf in the field west of liberty's face. I confirmed the clash by using photoshop and overlaying the obverse and reverse photos (snagged them from pcgscoinfacts). I can't get a decent shot because the coin is so small, it is in a holder and to get the best view of the clash... you need to view it at an angle. So my question is this: does the clash affect the value of my coin at all? I didn't notice the clash during purchase and can not find evidence of clashing on the reverse. I'm assuming that clashing is not uncommon on this type? Looking through gold varieties, many do not carry premiums and I don't see any involving clashes. From what I know about VAMs, clashes can be collectible and even warrant their own attributions? I'm more afraid that the clash would hurt the value of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

More than likely it would not add any value, it takes a spectacular error in gold coinage to really be worth a premium, like an off center, double struck, or over date.
