CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 08/22/2022 8:58 pm My most recent FEC cherry-pick. Been after one of these to add to my registry set although not sure if this one will end up in a slab or not. This is one of the three mule clashes for 1857 flying eagle cents-some of the best and most interesting varieties out there. This reverse die was clashed with a 25C Seated quarter. One of the most interesting things about this variety is that the Seated quarter variety exists with the corresponding clash marks from a FEC, so some collectors venture to complete the set of the two. Of the three clashes that exist, this is the second rarest just below the Snow-7. The snow-9 is far easier to locate than both the Snow-7 and Snow-8. It has taken me some years to cherrypick this variety, and the snow-7 is going to be a much bigger challenge. Even attributed these rarely come up for sale (if anyone has a S-7 that they are willing to part with, please PM me!). I'd put this at just enough detail for a F-12, although my hesitancy to slab this comes from the old scratches on the obverse. I'm afraid it may detail for "scratches" or "graffiti". IMO, it's an attractive coin and I think it has a decent shot at straight grading. Thank you for taking a look! -CH27 1857 Flying Eagle Cent- Reverse Die Clash with Seated quarter, FS-901 Snow-8 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 08/22/2022 11:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 08/22/2022 9:28 pm Nice pick! The scratches are light, not deep and may be market acceptable. I've located 2 in the many years I have looked for them, and one of them was horribly damaged. It's a tough coin with a very interesting story behind it. Now you need to cherry-pick the quarter clashed with the FEC! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 08/22/2022 9:55 pm Appreciate the input Raider. Always happy to see you chime in. I've been looking at FEC's for years trying to find some of the biggies like this clash; just recently decided to go for a full set. Nice that you've found two, even if one is badly damaged. Certainly a super scarce variety, in fact I believe this may be the first example ever posted on CCF. Trust me, my eyes are out for that quarter . -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 08/22/2022 9:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
