    That's a very cool looking coin without the clashes.

    The clashed die just adds to it.

    I wonder what it sounded like in the Mint when the two steel dies hit like that?

    That's crazy cool!

    That's a least a quadruple clash on that one? Awesome!

    it's tougher to find with out the clashes but I agree they are very cool.

    We could see the clash a lot better if you would dip it....image Cheers, RickO

    That's a beautiful 1814 O-108a E/A.

    Is that coin slabbed or RAW?

    Slabbed. All 330+ coins are in one of the 3 major TPG holders. All grade between AU50 and MS 63 (except for a couple of R-7's)

    Here is the raw photo I started with (resized). Tough shooting this many coins all in slabs.

    Remember guys, UtahCoin does not own these beautiful Busties. He is only showing them. It must be a fantastic collection he has been commissioned to photograph. Wonder if the collection is for sale any time soon.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    Really sweet!!

    If you like clashes, what do you think of this??

    image

    Note the feather clashing in the left obverse field, the " e pluribus clash," the A from states to the left of the date, the uber shield clashing at the ear, the branch clashing in front of Miss Liberty's face, as well as the outine of her nose and mouth undeer the left wing on the reverse...
