Tim C New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 06/06/2016 10:21 pm This coin is heavily die clashed on the obverse and some on the reverse. It has a die scratch by liberty. It looks like a mad die clash to me, is it worth a premium over book for what appears to me to be a VF coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Tim C New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 06/06/2016 10:22 pm BTW, the coin shows evidence of being clashed twice Report this Post to the Staff
iontyre Valued Member United States 269 Posts	Posted 06/06/2016 10:41 pm I have a very similar 1864 die clash. Can you determine what it is clashed with? Report this Post to the Staff
Tim C New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 06/06/2016 11:09 pm Yes, the reverse, it's the shield from the reverse you see just above the date. Report this Post to the Staff

Tim C New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 06/11/2016 2:11 pm Nice coop. I was told die clashes don't bring a premium. I don't understand that. What do you guys think, does it bring a premium? Report this Post to the Staff
Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 06/12/2016 2:03 pm Personally, I do keep clashed dies, but only if they are very strong.Yours is pretty strong. I do know that people collect clashed dies, and there is a whole website dedicated to them so I think that you could sell this to someone for a small premium. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/12/2016 2:23 pm People collect different things. Some like them others don't. But the stronger the die clash, the more interest there is in them. Looks like the STATES has a Struck Through Grease error on it: Report this Post to the Staff
Tim C New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 06/13/2016 11:08 pm Thanks Coop on both coins. I really appreciate the help and your knowledge, the same with everyone else. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
