<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 431436, member: 15199&quot;]I received this coin recently and thought some might be interested in it. From&nbsp; Richard&#039;s Snow&#039;s wonderful Guide Book of Flying Eagles and Indian Head Cents, Whitman 2007 it is described as (Paraphrased for brevity)&nbsp; A press has been striking Liberty Seated 50 cent coins, obverse in hammer position and reverse in anvil.&nbsp; To strike Flying eagle cent of 1857, the reverse 50 cent die is replaced with a Flying Eagle obverse die and the press is cycled to seat the new die, causing clash marks. Then the obverse 50 cent die is replaced with a FE reverse die and cents were produced with the clash mark of a 50 cent obverse die on the FE obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a photo from Snow&#039;s book used for educational purposes.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r78/predcarn/9-22/snow9photo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my coin </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r78/predcarn/9-22/1857snow9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>and a couple of close ups.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r78/predcarn/9-22/1857snow9a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r78/predcarn/9-22/1857snow9c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is also a Snow-7 where the clash is with a $20 obverse,and a Snow -8 with a quarter reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking,</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
