Just thought I'd address the post about there being no market for these clashes.
Doesn't mean there's a market amongst knowledgeable numismatists like coop. That said, I could see a complete date/MM set of clashed examples being a reasonable goal for a collector. And the guy who bought that coin bids almost exclusively in the Error category. Maybe that's what he's up to, and I hope he reaches his goal if it is. It's very likely doable - clashing is that common.
I just don't want
any newer collector reading this and thinking there is some inherent value in a clashed die like there would be a hub-doubled coin or similar. These are in the same class as greasers or strikethroughs - random Mint events not connected to any specific issue, and as likely to be found in
any issue.
And that's my problem with listing sites like maddieclashes. By all means, list them, but when you're done you're going to have one of
everything and multiples of most. What's "added value" about that? And in the meantime, less-knowledgeable collectors are going to think there's something special about them.
