I am a simple hobby guy. I get a new coin, I look in the guide books and I log whatever number matches. My first thought when I spotted a piece...
Thanks for all the feedback. I don't think I have one chance in a million of finding a second coin with obverse clash marks. However my daughter...
Brian Greer does not list an 1860 with obverse die clash marks either. Yes. I appreciate what you say about difficulty in getting a coin...
