bcollins Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I’m trying to decide wether to submit this coin for grading. Has anyone seen this variety? It looks like a counter stamped “E” next to Liberty’s left arm(viewer’s right). Can anyone give it a ballpark grade? I’m new to the seated liberty series and would welcome any help. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member: Seasoned Veteran Popular Post DWLange Posted June 26 Member: Seasoned Veteran Popular Post Share Posted June 26 That's a good example of die clashing. The dies struck one another without a planchet between them, and the obverse die received an inverted impression of the E in DIME. You can see the inverted outline of the Liberty figure on the reverse, too. It's fairly common, especially on small coins, as small planchets often experienced mis-feeds into the press.

numisport Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Looks like a relatively high grade coin if it hasn't been cleaned bcollins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
