Being that a proof is made for its aesthetic qualities, does having obvious signs of die clashing make it worth more or less? I just picked up a 2001 ASE Proof that has strong die clash markings. |

More. This kind of coin is rare and therefore worth a lot.

Will post some tonight when I get done with the hobgoblins (due to a windstorm last night they postponed Halloween in my area)

Yes, they are very rare and do command a nice premium. I currently own 2 proof die clashes and have seen maybe 6-7 others. They tend to look very strong because of the mirror fields without the distraction of luster. This would be the first that I have seen on an ASE! Please post pictures!  |

Sorry for the late post...I just forgot to snap some pics! It proved very hard to capture what I think is a polished die after a die clash. The two Images are the same, but I circled the area in question. You can only see a small region of it, but in fact it covers most of the field. It looks like wing feather outlines all through the area. Is MUCH easier to see in hand.   |

Th angle of the camera/light is obscuring the clash. Try a different angle to eliminate that shadow

Here is an overlay so you can see what a clash would do to the field area of the obverse:  From coin fishing DVD 2013It maybe part of a clash or part of a polishing that you are seeing. I'm thinking polishing as the edge if not strong in that area. Edited by coop

thanks for the visual. Guess it is just a lousy struck proof. At least it is worth melt! LOL
