I guess what I'm saying is that it doesn't usually pay to slab 97% of modern die clashed coins.
Someone might like the wording, but die clashes like that are of little interest to most error collectors - they'll pay a few dollars or so for an example if they want one, but don't forget every coin struck from that die will exhibit the same die clashing marks - there's probably thousands of them out there, should someone want to look for 'em.

I think rarity has little to do with the value of a piece like this. Because it is so minor, few error collectors would want it even if there were only a few dozen out there. I'm not sure calling it a "Tsunami Quarter" does much to help the value.
There are dozens of die clashes from other die pairings within the statehood quarter series, that are stronger than this one and that sell at a fraction of the price.

Originally posted by: TopographicOceans It's a catchy name though.
But I guess it didn't catch on
A tsunami coming towards an island is just as "catchy" as an extra leaf on a corn stalk. Im kinda surprised this wasn't more of an exciting discovery.
Also, I'm aware of the absolute devastation that a tsunami creates. Don't know how I should feel about "collecting" a tsunami. Then again, I have my choice of scarface, goiter Franklin, goiter Washington, wounded eagle, speared bison, etc. .....I guess morbid is collectible

Is it really a clash?
sure looks like one. The seller does a good job illustrating the clash too.

Should also note the OP's example is the only one offered on eBay now and searching two weeks back finds no other examples.
I wonder how many ANACS has slabbed?

Based on the scale it would be huge...
Yes it would, more like a comet strike! (Deep Impact)

two, so people can see the difference...Cheers, RickO
More like a ripple than a tsunami......
Tsunamis are hardly ever what the movies make them look like. Those waves on the quarter would more than be enough to do some major damage.
