Coin of the day #1

I'm going to try to post one coin each day about something fun. Feel free to add to the thread with something related.

This is a clashed die coin. Back in 1857 there was some crazy stuff going on at the US mint. This was the cent die clashed with the 50 cent die.

Now there's a beauty ...

 

Very Nice, FULL Feathers "GREAT"

 

excellent.
cherry pick?

 

Glad it didn't hurt the eagle. Very nice. Are there many die clashes that old. Just can't remember.

 

I haven’t posted yet..... But I have been back here like six times today to look at that cent..... Man, that’s sweet.

 

I'm not sure. Been too long.

 

Yes. Lots of them.
Anyone have a clashed die coin they would like to share?

 

Very Nice!

 

This has strong clashing on both sides but it was so hard to photograph because it is so small.

 

Some good clashes to the right of Eagles wing, and from left wing to the n in the word "in".

 

Nice clash. Small coins can have some really bold clashing.

 

Some neat clashing on the obverse on this one.

 

This ones fun.

 

This is the only thing I can offer in relation to 1857. The Charlotte mint only had a few more years of life in her by then as events in the coming years would envelope the nation into some of its darkest times and close the mint as a production facility for good.

 

Took a photo of this old dollar for a different thread when I noticed all the clashing going on.

 

This was clashed with the die from the $20 gold piece.

 

This was an ANACS AU58. Who can find the profile outline of the Indian Head Cent?

 

DANG YOU!

 

I never get tired of seeing this one.
