<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 2628341, member: 73224&quot;]So, I went to the coin show today.&nbsp; This is the only time I get a chance to buy coins in slabs.&nbsp; Today I found this 1865 3cn.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t have this coin type.&nbsp;&nbsp; It has clashes on the obverse and reverse.&nbsp; Can you have a doubled clash?(rhetorical)&nbsp; My pictures don&#039;t show the entire clash.&nbsp;&nbsp; As usual I always go on ebay and look to see how I did.&nbsp; I found coins in the same grade and higher on ebay.&nbsp; I feel like the coin I have is better than any coin I found on ebay. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I found is the roman numerals, especially the first I, usually lack full details.&nbsp; Liberty&#039;s crown lacks complete jewel details(the round things on the top of the crown).&nbsp; Liberty&#039;s hair also usually lacks detail. Or maybe even a weak strike in the hair area.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do clash marks take away from the grade?&nbsp; I would think not.&nbsp; Like bag marks and the like.&nbsp; My question is does this coin look under graded?&nbsp; It does to me.&nbsp; These are the best pics I could get.&nbsp; The first set of close-ups show the clashing best.&nbsp; The second show the truer color of the coin.&nbsp; I paid $150.00 for the coin for those that were wondering.&nbsp; Book is $160.00 in all retail outlets.[ATTACH=full]577878[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]577879[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]577880[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]577881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]577882[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
