in MS-60 and up I would think close to $200.00 I just picked up a EF for $25.00 but I got it from a close friend. so if you can get it for less than that I would jump on it Gary

So $105 would be a great price? It's a beauty, the mint luster is amazing on it. One thing, there's a die crack on it from the back of the neck to the A. It's hard to see, but I could see it with a loop. Does that hurt the value at all?

No...die cracks will not lessen the value.

Just make sure it is a die crack and not a scratch on the coin. $105 isn't a great price, but if it is truly MS then it is a decent price, especially if the coin has a look of eye appeal.

chances are it has a pretty nice clash on it also (most 3cn I have seen have pretty dramatic clashes for some reason) so look at it good with the loop at all angles because clashes can be hard to see at times but chances are higher to find a 3cn with some clashing than finding one without any

Not sure how to spot a clash. I have the coin in my possession now, I'll post the pics so perhaps you can show me.

Thad: Look at the obverse design, then flip the coin, remember where some of the images are located, they will be in the same place on the reverse. Same goes for the reverse -- clashed with an obverse.

no, like I said it is more common to find clashing on a 3cn than it is not to find clashing on one

Yep BadThad, a clash is worse than a hole. You just better send it to me and I will give you $10 for your troubles  Seriously though, a clash mark occurs when the two dies strike each other without a planchet between them creating an opposite side "ghost" image. Clashes are common on 3CNs and do not negatively affect the value. Nice 3CN btw

Any opinions on the grade?
