Sellers pics may leaving something to be desired but can you tell
1) If that is a die crack or scatch thru Liberty's head.
2) Could there be some clashing by Liberty's elbow and by M and E on Dime (clashing with what)?
3) Sufaces look original?

2. Yes. Those are clash marks. The leaves and "E" of "dime" have clashed with the area around the elbow of Liberty.
3. I can't tell from the pics regarding the originality of the coin's surfaces.

1) I simply cannot tell what is going on there
2) Looks like die clashing
3) Very doubtful that this coin has original surfaces

2. Clash marks
3. No
I've learned lots from TomB on the boards and usually pay close attention to his views ... but, I think your coin is original
Take another photo at a slight angle.

1. ...therefore it *may* be ribbon clash by her head
3. the reverse looks original (to me, that is)- but I couldn't guess if I had only seen the obverse?
2. Yes.
3. Original enough.
2) Could be clashmarks, I guess.
3) I don't know if it's original or not, but I think it is attractive, and it looks like it's in PCGS plastic? Good enough for them, good enough for me.

Kinda like this one. Except mine has a small die crack on it.
PURPLE!

I haven't seen you around for awhile. Welcome back!
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Small? That is perhaps the most severely shattered reverse die in the entire series. I would call that a major die crack, and an extremely rare die state.
Welcome back! Good to see you on the forum again.
