There is some people that keep a database of all errors ever found. You send your coin to them, they verify its a new error and then they give you credit. I can't think of the name right now.

I gotta agree with Adam! Post it worry about "credit" later. We MUST share possible finds! IMHO

Errors are typically one of a kind. I really haven't heard of people getting credit for discovering an error coin. Now varieties such as doubled dies are a different story. Credit has been given with new variety finds. Are you talking about an error here or a variety?

Clashed dies are minor errors and are often unreported because nobody lists them singly. They are listed as a category - just clashed dies, then their value is more or less determined by how strong they are. Clashed dies CAN be cataloged by individual die, and this has started to some degree by Mike Diamond, Jason Cuvilier, B.J. Neff and Bob Piazza at http://www.maddieclashes.com/This would be the only resource to use in determining whether your clash is already listed, and it would be about the only resource that would be interested in attributing your clash. Coin World, Bill Fivaz, and CONECA would likely simply return the coin as "Yes, this is a clash." and that's it - because THEY don't go any further than simply identification in breaking them down. Clashes are generally collected by few people and are generally not worth much. Categorically they are rather common, especially if they are weak...in fact weak die clashes are exceedingly common - worthless, in fact. So it really depends on just how strong your clash is as to whether it would be worth sending to anyone. Without seeing it, a sheer stab in the dark would be your only available answer.
