Is this kind of wacked out strike on a 3CN typical?

Cool error worth any extra money?

The reverse has an outline of the obverse bust!

die clash marks are quite common on 3CN. They are really pretty cool.

I was looking at that 3 cent piece it looks cool for the $

I like it as well but the shipping cost is a little extreme. I asked the seller why the shipping was so high on a $75 dollar item.

The 10 dollar shipping has kept me from bidding on a few things they have had up on ebay lately. If you go to the web site and buy the coin the shipping charge is a little better I have found out. Still I would check with them first. This coin is on the web site as of 10 minutes ago.

Very nice clash marks. But, these are common on 3-cent silver and 3-cent nickel pieces, as well as a variety of other coins (Capped Bust halves, gold dollars, etc.). In general, coins with these aren't worth more.

There are a few that do bring a fair bit more, but these coins have so-called multidenominational die clash marks. Such coins include the following:
1857 Flying Eagle cent w/ reverse clash marks from a Liberty Seated quarter die
1857 Flying Eagle cent w/ obverse clash marks from a Liberty double eagle die
1857 Flying eagle cent w/ obverse clash marks from a Seated Liberty half dollar die
1870 Shield nickel w/ obverse clash marks from an Indian Head cent die
1864 LM 2-cent piece w/reverse clash marks from an Indian Head cent die
1857 Liberty Seated quarter w/reverse clash marks from an Indian Head cent die
1868 3-cent piece w/obverse clash marks from an Indian Head cent die
