Inherited some coins and do not know enough about grade and value. Can someone help me out? Date: 1857
Now hang on...this looks like the Cherrypicker's obverse clash with a Liberty Seated 50¢ die if I'm not mistaken. If so, it can definitely bring more than $20.
Er...do you have a cherrypicker's guide in front of you? Because I'm looking at the picture right here and it seems to match up to me...
Frankly If you can get more$, do so, standing ovation, I've found through my year very, very, few pay any attention to cherry's, error's Etc. unless they happen to be spectacular,.
In my opinion that coin is better than g... Maybe vg I didn't see the "cherry pickers error" but I don't have the book in front of me
There is actually a very large market for cherrypicker varieties. The top TPGs will slab cherrypicker varieties. I have seen simple errors/varieties like the 1969-D "no FG" sell like wildfire in the $100+ range.
Yes. While this example may not be "spectacular", in higher grades the variety is. Should be a rather easy sell top of $20.
Yes, this is the one in CPG. Nice find. It is also known as an S-9 in Rick Snows book. You can get $50-$100 for it. They sell on Ebay all the time in this range. These clash die coins are very special to FE and IHC collectors.
