I purchased this FEC from John Call a few years ago. I wanted it as I liked the cud on its reverse. Also to be quite honest out of all the roll and bad searching I did years ago had I ever found a coin with a cud. The year 1857 had an seated liberty quarter that was clashed with an FEC. And I know that there are several varieties of clashes on FEC. However I am at a loss connecting the dots here to figure out the clash on this specimen.. Maybe another set of fresh eyes can see what Im missing. I have a educated guess but wont say anything that I believe it to be until others have chimes in. Thanks in advance
I know these really well but can't figure out what you have. The cud looks like the S-10 but I'm not seeing the DDO.
Can you get a close-up of the date? I think I see the 7 repunched but the date position doesn't jive.
Yes I have all the known clashe over lays none match thats why I posted it. I may need to send it to Rick Snow . It has had me sratching my head with the coin in hand...however thanks for your reply.
And yes I am too pretty good on FEC and IHC plus have quite a few references on both series.I emailed Jim Motley this morning this morning hoping he could share so light on it also.
The date has been repunched look at the 1 under the flag. However take a close look at the 7. There's something under the 7 look to the west and south east. With 17,800,000 minted make one wonder if an 1856 die wasnt reworked.
It's obviously not Snow-10 as there isn't repunching of the date. The date is also punched farther to the left.
But you all see exactly what I am saying? Why I am sratching my head... the items that I posted are there they aren't a figment of my imagination. LoL Plus the cud on my coin is an earlier die state...as ifs not flatten...it comes to a point. To be honest when I purchased it..I did because of the cud...and its in set B of my two FEC & IHC . I just gave it a quick glance and put it in the coin board.
I'm still playing around looking for something that would create those clash marks. The quarter eagle is close but I don't know.
