Trying to find info on 1889 Indian Cent with die clashing. Image in post.

Can't find information on any possible added value, or even a record of this one.

Admittedly, I'm not the best at interfacing with all this high-falutin new inter tubes stuff. But I did try, for quite awhile!

Did find a lot of great examples of clashing, but no mention of this one, or much info on valuing clashed die coins, (other than VAMS, of course!)

Maybe it's the S31? I'm not sure, as the obverse image is not enlarged.

Here's another page with more S31 description and photos. The obverse image doesn't show the clashed O, though.

Don't think it is the S-31.

Have never seen this clash mark before. FWIW, I believe that it is the C of CENT, not the O of ONE.

Good point.

These are seen on many different years. This one is vey bold, much deeper than usual. It is not listed as a variety and is not worthy of a premium, as far as I have seen.

I would take this one every time if I had to choose between it and a similar coin/wear sitting next to it, so I do not understand about the no premium. I think we meant "very little premium?"

CaptHenway

Are there corresponding clash marks on the reverse? If so, could you picture them please?

CaptHenway

You may be right. They may have swapped out the reverse die.

Here is a proof 1889 with a similar clash, thought not as dramatic. Coin formerly owned by Toneddollars.
