I'm not seeing a clash.

I would go with the 1888. Pretty coin. It would be worth much more than $575 if it were DCAM.
I'll go 65 on the Dime.
I don't see any reason to change the holders. The 80-S might look better with a quick dip but I don't think it's worth the cost.
I would not try to darken it. Give it an acetone bath and put it on you desk and watch it for several months. Don't rub it in any way but pick it...
I don't know but those are nice images.
Don't bother. You would get fired the first day. The services and people like Mr. Bowers are only looking for honest people.
You have what's called a planchet. Nice find.
Could it be a 1963?
I'm not seeing anything that makes me think Doubled die. Could you post an image of the whole coin? Welcome to CT. Lots of fun going on here.
Could you post an image? Is this a proof set or a mint set?
I'm trying to stick with Bust half dollars but this one caught me at a weak moment. I blame Toughcoins. I'm happy to own it. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Retained strike thru?
Looks like a proof to me. Can you take an image with a camera.
Looks like damage to me.
Still a nice coin but it has been cleaned.
Great looking set.
