What do you all think of this? I love the extreme clash marks. Especially the E peeking out between Liberty's forearm and drapery.
These small silvers are so hard to photograph!!

That is one sweet looking clash. I'd give it an AU-58

AU-58 sounds about right.

I was going to say MS something, but figured the coin had a real old cleaning on it, that's why I went with a 58

These seems like one of those were its slight wear vs a soft strike on the high points and soft strike wins out. Super cool coin!

I think this is one coin that needs to be in hand to see high points rotating through the light. MS seems fine to me, if no wear points or rub are there, which I don't see in the photo. Great clashing too. I'm MS63/64 range or AU58 if wear is detected. Very nice.

Strongest clash I've ever seen on a Seated coin. Spectacular!
Looks mint state and pretty choice. MS-64 seems appropriate.

Stunning! ! MS something that's for sure! She's been tucked away and protected for a long time. I wonder where?

WOW, Love the clashes and have never seen one with that much clashing. I would say MS-62 or MS-63.

A Civil War beauty! How about obverse AU-58, reverse MS-62. Or is that impossible?
