Need a price check on aisle one...

I have a friend who has an 1882 CC GSA Morgan (original pack + cert/box) with a noticeable die clash on obverse and reverse (and no die polish). The cheek has some hits on it and I'd give it a (knowing how CC morgans get a bump) low end 63 or high end 62. But the die clash intrigued me and I wasn't sure if it's one of those cool things that gets no premium or one of those cool things that gets a mild premium. It's untoned. Any advice on what to tell him the value is for those of you who price these things more often than me?

He's starting to become interested more seriously in coins, too, so I'm trying to help him out a bit. His grandfather apparently had a really good collection. I'm hoping to get a look at it in the next couple of months.

Thanks,

Neil

    I have a couple of Die clashed GSA's. From what I can see they are common. The 82 GSA's have been all over the place on Ebay. I have seen them go for $150 to over $200 depending on whos' bidding on them.
    I'l try to post a one with a die clash, but I'm not sure how the camera is going to work out.

    Well, just finished playing with the pic I took of his. Here it is:

    I've owned an 82 and a few 83 cc's that have displayed some intriguing die clashes, yet never paid nor charged a premium when buying/selling them. They're fairly common in Morgans and I've been told that you can find clashed morgans in every date of the series. Unless it's the E clash, I wouldn't pay a premium, unless you're willing to pay one.

    edit to add: nice coin, but would not count on a 63.

    That's basically it.
    The spike comming out of the neck, The space by the bonnet where it is separated by the cord. The reverse shows the clash along the leaves.

    I have a few of those in different years.
