jgettings00 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 10/09/2013 11:01 pm I just recently bought a FE off ebay and after I did the seller told me he mispriced it because it's actually an error coin, but he still let me have it. Where is the error? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

jgettings00 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 10/10/2013 12:16 am It kind of starts at the 'E' in America and gets bigger as it goes down, ending at the tail feathers. It kind of just looks like wear but it's not Report this Post to the Staff

DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 10/10/2013 4:54 pm It's not a Cud. It is a clash with a seated half (I believe). I think it is S-9 variety, but don't have my book. The clash is clearly visible even in low grades, as evident, running through "America." It adds a premium, but in this grade, I don't think it's too much. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 10/22/2013 01:23 am Clashes themselves aren't that rare, but it's almost always the obverse and reverse of a single coin type. The rarity is that there are only six verified off-center and six verified multi-denominational clashes in all of 19th century US coinage history, most of them with FE - http://www.kevinjflynn.com/books/th...ed-die-book/ -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
