<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 169614, member: 1242&quot;]Atlashealth,</p><p><br /></p><p>I still believe that the areas on the coin are Counter-Die Clashes and not Die Clashes and if they are obtuse, then that is the case! No matter because in either case, unless there is significant evidence of either, they add very little value over the value of the coin based on it&#039;s condition. The coin appears to be a VG-10 and worth at a maximum of around $7.50 and I really can&#039;t see it fetching much more based on the errors. Grant you, I am not an expert like Fred Weinberg but I do not agree with his assessment. Basing the value of a coin and any errors by viewing pictures, is extremely difficult at best and believe his assessment of the coin, may be different, if he had the coin in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please don&#039;t really on Mr. Weinberg&#039;s and my opinion alone! I am hoping that Mike Diamond will see these postings and offer his opinions on the value of the coin, if the errors are Die Clashes or Counter-Die Clashes and the difference between the two. I see all too often that a Counter-Die Clash on a coin is stated as being a Die Clash and is stated by Amateur Collectors and Coin Experts alike. It is like Counter-Die Clash is bad, should not be used and since it is highly mis-understood, it&#039;s very use will lower the value or fetching price of a coin. Heck, you can barely find any information on these mis-understood errors on the internet and the most found anywhere is on the sites dedicated to Morgan VAMs (<a href="http://www.ashmore.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ashmore.com" rel="nofollow">www.ashmore.com</a> and <a href="http://www.rjrc.com)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.rjrc.com)" rel="nofollow">www.rjrc.com)</a>. I believe that in most cases that major Counter-Die Clashing on a coin, should increase the value much higher than similar Die Clashing on a coin. The reason I believe this, is that Counter-Die Clashing is much more unique in how it is produced, occurs very infrequently and is fairly rare. Die Clashing occurs much more often and probably occurs may times within a given coin series run, making it less rare.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
