This is a very nice condition coin and has a very awesome clash. The reverse also has a pretty good die break. Still working on the full Obverse and reverse pics.

Thanks GrapeCollects. I am aware that they are basically normal for that coin, but it's still cool to look at and is visible with the naked eye.

I truly did try, but I don't have the right equipment. Ordering some better equipment in a bit.

I think it'd grade about AU-50 maybe.

Yup. Pretty late Die state but still a nice coin.

That is one of my favorite errors in the series. I have one also. I have seen it described on ebay as the candlestick error - while not an official name, it pretty much summarizes the reverse!
