    Sorry your snipe came up short Larry, I'm surprised Goose3 and Pushkin missed this one!

    The seller must be scratching his head right now image

    Me too but that's all I cared to gamble. The Obv looked polished and the Rev looked cleaned.
    Don't see many of these pop up. image

    Lots of history in this.

    The cent die was clashed with the die of a $20 gold piece die.
    Some folks feel the night watchman at the mint was playing around.

    There are clashes with 25cent, 50 cent and the $20 dies.
    It's hard to see but here is the $20 clash.

    Very cool, and definitely a nice clash too.

  • I don't see the clashes....I must be blind.......how much of a premium does the die clash on the FE bring???

    Yes. That's part of it. Follow it down to the tail of the eagle.
    It's liberty's profile facing right. It's hard to see the first time.

    shylock!!

    don't you have an "overlay" you can post??


    I bet that seller was shocked!!!

    I usually check quite a few of them on ebay but have been too busy lately to keep up much. I would not have paid that much for it but someone will be happy to snag it. You just don't see those for sale very often.
