This coin has been graded by NGC, what grade do you think it was assigned? A new pick-up!!

Here's the grade and I think ngc got this one right on. But the variety is what I was really after, in a higher grade it would have cost me a little more $. I also like the looks of this coin it ,has more luster that is shown in my crapy pictures. Thanks to all for your comments and your grades

Snow-8 FS-01-1857-901 (005)

au58 with one of the clashed dies with the half dollar?????? beautifull reverse clashing

it's tough to grade it 58 but the reverse screams it

KlectorKid · April 30, 2009 9:35AM

A lot going on with the obverse. I'm going to agree with Teddy, AU58.

thisnamztaken · April 30, 2009 9:37AM

63

Edscoin · April 30, 2009 9:39AM

62 or AU 58 would be better!

mozeppa · April 30, 2009 9:45AM

58 minus the green glob in the date.

mozeppa · April 30, 2009 9:46AM

and on "of"

and on the reverse rim at 6:30 o'clock

grip · April 30, 2009 9:58AM

The way the coin is i give it a 63.

Ms-61 or MS-62 Snow-8 Reverse Clash w/Seated Liberty Quarter

Based on the photo only, possibly messed with and retoned.

lakeshore · April 30, 2009 10:04AM

It's the variety that has the clash with the quarter dollar. S-8, I think.........

fc · April 30, 2009 10:05AM

i am having a hard time determining if there is rub or not.
since i cannot see anything really obvious i will go with low ms.
say a 62

devious · April 30, 2009 10:06AM

I'll go with a high 62

or 62+

ArizonaJack · April 30, 2009 10:08AM

Thats a toughie for sure...I am 62ish on it

zeebob · April 30, 2009 10:14AM

NGC would have given it a 64.

MidLifeCrisis · April 30, 2009 10:23AM

hard to say....63

intocoins · April 30, 2009 10:26AM

I'm going to say that weakness is a result of the clash. My guess is MS-63

lcoopie · April 30, 2009 10:31AM

I with the 58ers
Good looking coin

BXBOY143 · April 30, 2009 10:39AM

MikeInFL · April 30, 2009 10:43AM

stinkinlincoln · April 30, 2009 10:45AM

FredF · April 30, 2009 11:19AM

MS63RB if the color is legit - may be easier to tell in hand.

tjkillian · April 30, 2009 11:42AM

Some photo's are easier to grade from than others.

BlindedByEgo · April 30, 2009 2:17PM

I've got to admit, my first thought was "I don't like the spots". Then I thought that, with no visible rub, the spots would limit it to 62.

Then I saw the clash, and I just thought, "cool".

Somebody left an 1857 seated liberty quarter die in the press and clashed it with a 1857 flying eagle cent. This is a Snow -8 (MAD)-002. 126- 250 pieces are known in this die variety, how many of those are ms ? I don't know.
